LACRIMAL GLAND REMOVAL IMPAIRS SEXUAL BEHAVIOR IN MICE

Lacrimal gland removal impairs sexual behavior in mice

Exocrine gland-secreting peptides (ESPs) are a protein family involved in the pheromonal communication of rodents.ESP1 is a lacrimal peptide synthesized by the extraorbital glands of males of specific mouse strains that modulates the sexual behavior in females.Reportedly, BALB/c males, that produce high level of ESP1 in the tear fluid, were shown t

Hybridization in Four Nigerian Physalis (Linn.) Species

Interspecific reciprocal crosses among four Nigerian Physalis species (Physalis angulata, P.micrantha, P.pubescens and P.peruviana) were carried out by transferring desired pollen grains to ovalate parents, bagged and labelled to prevent contamination by external pollen grains and for easy identification.Pollen cells of the F1 hybrid combination fr
