Abstract excerpt
The intersegmental muscles (ISMs) of the tobacco hawkmoth, Manduca sexta, undergo programmed cell death (PCD) following adult eclosion in response to a decline in the circulating titer of the hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone. The ability of the ISMs to die requires de novo gene expression and a number...
