Abstract
⺠Corpora allata, adenohypophysis and cells within share features indicating homology. ⺠We identify correspondencies by comparing recent findings about the two organs. ⺠We show that corpora allata and adenohypophysis fulfill several homology criteria. ⺠Cells express similar proteins, are regulated by RFamides and produce nitric oxide. ⺠Their development might be initiated by Six3 and Pitx.
