Oogenesis and egg development in triatomines: a biochemical approach

Oogenesis and egg development in triatomines: a biochemical approach

In triatomines, as well as in other insects, accumulation of yolk is a process in which an extra-ovarian tissue, the fat body, produces yolk proteins that are packed in the egg.
