Evidence against a germ plasm in the milkweed bug Oncopeltus fasciatus, a hemimetabolous insect

Primordial germ cell (PGC) formation in holometabolous insects like Drosophila melanogaster relies on maternally synthesised germ cell determinants that are asymmetrically localised to the oocyte posterior cortex.
