Abstract

A delay in feeding a protein meal to the female blowfly following allatectomy results in inhibition of follicular development in the previtellogenic stage. On the other hand, a protein meal given immediately after the operation permits 55% of the flies to deposit yolk in their oocytes. It is concluded that those flies that do not deposit yolk in their oocytes fail to do so because of the absence of a corpus allatum hormone necessary for the synthesis of vitellogenin.
