Post-eclosion growth in the <i>Drosophila</i> Ejaculatory Duct is driven by Juvenile Hormone signaling and is essential for male fertility

2024-08-13

Abstract excerpt

The Drosophila Ejaculatory duct (ED) is a secretory tissue of the somatic male reproductive system. The ED is involved in the secretion of seminal fluid components and ED-specific antimicrobial peptides that aid in fertility and the female post-mating response.
