Transglutaminase-mediated semen coagulation controls sperm storage in the malaria mosquito.
Insect seminal fluid proteins are powerful modulators of many aspects of female physiology and behaviour including longevity, egg production, sperm storage, and remating. The crucial role of these proteins in reproduction makes them promising targets for developing tools aimed at reducing the popula...
