Abstract

Study of imprinted heterochromatinization of the paternal chromosome set in male mealy bugs is made difficult because it takes place at the blastula stage within the ovary. We describe here a method that allows for the bulk preparation of staged early embryos that develop normally outside the mother. We define an accessible experimental window encompassing 48 to 72hours post-mating in which regulation of heterochromatinization of the paternal chromosome set can now be investigated outside the confines of the ovary.
