摘要: Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) produced in reproductive tract tissues of male insects and transferred to females during mating induce numerous physiological behavioral postmating changes females. These include decreasing receptivity remating; affecting sperm storage parameters; increasing egg production; modulating competition, feeding behaviors, plug formation. In addition, SFPs also have antimicrobial functions expression peptides at least some insects. Here, we review recent identification insect discuss the multiple roles these play processes female
