STEROID SIGNALING WITHIN DROSOPHILA OVARIAN EPITHELIAL CELLS SEX-SPECIFICALLY MODULATES EARLY GERM CELL DEVELOPMENT AND MEIOTIC ENTRY.

Steroid signaling within Drosophila ovarian epithelial cells sex-specifically modulates early germ cell development and meiotic entry.

Drosophila adult females but not males contain high levels of the steroid hormone ecdysone, however, the roles played by steroid signaling during Drosophila gametogenesis remain poorly understood.Drosophila germ cells in both sexes initially follow a similar pathway.After germline stem cells are established, their daughters form interconnected cyst

Evaluation of Mosquito Attractant Candidates Using a High-Throughput Screening System for Aedes aegypti (L.), Culex quinquefasciatus Say. and Anopheles minimus Theobald (Diptera: Culicidae)

Several types of olfactometers have been used to evaluate mosquito responses to agents that mimic natural volatiles that repel or attract.The Y-tube olfactometer CLEANSE MORE has been widely used to study repellents and attractants, while the high-throughput screening system assay has only been used to study repellents.Whether the high-throughput s
