Abstract
Mating of the Teleogryllus commodus female causes increased oviposition mediated by PGE(2), which is synthesized in the female's spermatheca from the precursor, arachidonic acid, in the presence of a PG-synthesizing complex. The latter, together with sperm, is transferred from the male to the female via a spermatophore. Only nanogram quantities of PGE(2) injected into oviduct are necessary to simulate mating-induced egg release.Entities:
