Abstract
Highlights • Tai mRNAs in ALs and ASGs are at higher levels in sexually mature old males than in sexually immature young males.• Tai silencing in old males causes a decrease in sexual behavior.• Tai-deficient older males exhibit delayed ASG development.• JH deprivation by allatectomy results in a reduction of Tai expression in ALs and ASGs.• Tai is a mediator of JH actions through a positive regulation of Kr-h1.
