Blockage of adult development by brain removal and its resumption by application of the prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH) were studied using pupae of a racial hybrid J‐122 × C‐115 of Bombyx mori . A log‐linear dose‐response relationship was obrained after injection of a PTTH solution. The Bombyx ‐unit of PTTH has been defined from this dose‐response curve.
