摘要:
Development of the upper vas deferens and seminal vesicle, and the ecdysteroid titers of the cabbage armyworm (Mamestra brassicae) during pharate adult stage were investigated to provide evidence of endogenous control of the sperm movement through the reproductive tract. Apparently, development of the upper vas deferens is initiated when ecdysteroid titers increase after pupation and continues until eclosion. Sperm movement correlates with the decrease of ecdysteroid titers. When ecdysteroid titers remained at low levels, sperm release from the testis was observed one day before eclosion.
