The moulting glands of the milkweed bug, Oncopeltus fasciatus, normally degenerate just before the time of ecdysis to an adult (day 7 of the fifth instar). Morphologically normal cell death can be prematurely stimulated in vitro by 20-hydroxyecdysone. Breakdown is triggered by a 24-hr period of exposure to 20-hydroxyecdysone, but an additional incubation period is required before clear signs of degeneration are manifested. Glands removed after the onset of endogenous ecdysteroid secretion degenerate in vitro in the absence of added hormones. Thus, in the moulting glands of Oncopeltus, ecdysteroids appear to act as an important trigger for metamorphic cell death. © 1983.
