Abstract

The quantity of the larval salivary gland secretions (glue proteins) in relation to the gland size was analysed in 15 species of Drosophila. Such an analysis revealed that in most of the species, the gland size variation was due to hypertrophy and not hyperplasia and the quantity of glue synthesized is double compared to that in D. melanogaster. Further, it is evident that the quantity of secretions synthesized is independent of the size of the salivary glands.
