Experimental Tool

Embryonic development of the hemipteran Rhodnius prolixus is perturbed by fenoxycarb (Ro 13.5223, Dr. R. Maag Ltd.), a non-neurotoxic insect growth regulator. Degree of perturbation is dependent on dose applied and embryonic stage at application time. Day 5 embryos were the most sensitive over a broad dose range. Treatment on day 8 had little effect, with normal hatching occurring 1 week later. Three developmental stages were most sensitive to perturbation: katatrepsis, dorsal closure, and eclosion. Katatrepsis, which normally occurs 168 h postoviposition, was the stage most prominently affected, suggesting that fenoxycarb interferes with basic mechanisms underlying this morphogenetic movement. Dorsal closure was the second most sensistive stage, the defect being characterized by embryos failing to completely enclose the yolk. Embryos receiving very low doses successfully completed katatrepsis and dorsal closure but were unable to hatch. Results demonstrate that fenozycarb may be a useful experimental tool for examining the normal cellular mechanisms of insect embryogenesis.
