Sex pheromone production in the housefly has been found to be associated with ovarian development, and further studies have demonstrated that a product from the ovary is essential for stimulating the biosynthesis of sex pheromones. Dr. Blomquist has shown that ecdysteroids from the ovary of the housefly regulate the biosynthesis of the pheromone, and he now wants to examine the regulation of the biosynthetic reactions by the ecdysteroids in more detail. These studies will increase our understanding of the biosynthesis and endocrine regulation of insect sex pheromones, and will provide essential basic information for designing specific techniques for insect control.

人们发现家蝇的性信息素产生与卵巢发育有关，进一步的研究表明，卵巢的产物对于刺激性信息素的生物合成至关重要。 Blomquist 博士已经证明，来自家蝇卵巢的蜕皮类固醇调节信息素的生物合成，他现在想更详细地研究蜕皮类固醇对生物合成反应的调节。 这些研究将增加我们对昆虫性信息素的生物合成和内分泌调节的理解，并将为设计昆虫控制的具体技术提供必要的基础信息。
