Hormonal Deficiency Causing Albinism in Locusta migratoria

Hoppers of an albino strain in the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria, are uniformly creamy white when reared under crowded conditions. Implantation of corpora cardiaca taken from a normal hopper caused some albino hoppers to turn grey, reddish, brown, or dark brown like the colors of normal isolated solitary individuals, and others to develop the black and orange coloration like that of normal gregarious hoppers. Other organs such as brain and thoracic ganglia also induced various colors. Therefore, the albinism of this locust is caused by deficiency of some hormonal factor(s) present in the corpora cardiaca, brain and other ganglia. Implantation of some organs obtained from 7 other species also caused albino locusts to develop dark body colors, suggesting that some hormonal factor(s) commonly present in different insects can promote dark pigmentation in albino locusts.
