Histochemical studies on the effect of propoxur on yolk synthesis in the ovarioles of the blow fly, Chrysomyia albiceps (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae).
The effect of the carbamate insecticide, propoxur, on yolk synthesis in the ovarioles of the blow fly, Chrysomyia albiceps (Wiedemann) was studied. Histochemical studies showed that DNA, RNA, protein and lipid synthesis in propoxur--treated ovarioles decreased as compared to that in non-treated ovarioles, with some deteriorations in the chromatin materials in the nuclei of some nurse cells. On the other hand, the synthesis of carbohydrate is more or less not affected.
