The effect of Y-organ removal on limb regeneration and molting was investigated in the crab, Sesarma haematocheir. Basal growth of regenerating limb bud was achieved independently of the Y-organs. However, bilateral removal of the Y-organ inhibited premolt growth and molting. It was also found that removal of the Y-organs from crabs at stage D2 inhibited further premolt growth of regenerating limb bud and molting. Ecdysterone injections in Y-organless crabs induced premolt growth of regenerating limb bud and gastrolith formation, but were insufficient to induce molting.
研究了切除Y器官对红螯相手蟹肢体再生和蜕皮的影响。再生肢芽的基础生长独立于Y器官完成。然而，双侧切除Y器官会抑制蜕皮前的生长和蜕皮。还发现，在D2期切除螃蟹的Y器官会抑制再生肢芽的进一步蜕皮前生长和蜕皮。给无Y器官的螃蟹注射蜕皮甾酮可诱导再生肢芽的蜕皮前生长和胃石形成，但不足以诱导蜕皮。
