    Transesterification of juvenile hormone occurs in vivo in locust when injected in alcoholic solvents

    Catabolism of juvenile hormone was studied in vivo in the African locust by injection of the labelled natural enantiomer (10R) (12-3H) JH-III. Due to the poor solubility of JH in aqueous solution, it was injected...

    Effects of a juvenile hormone mimetic, fenoxycarb, on post-embryonic development of the European corn borer,Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn.

    The effect of a juvenile hormone mimetic, fenoxycarb, Ro 13-5223, was tested on the larval instars of the European corn borer,Ostrinia nubilalis, by dip** or topical application. When larvae were treated in ins...

    In vitro biosynthesis of juvenile hormone III by the corpora allata ofCalliphora vomitoria and its role in ovarian maturation and sexual receptivity

    JH III is the only JH detected by GLC-MS in medium from in vitro incubations of corpora allata of adult females ofCalliphora vomitoria. When corpora allata were removed from females at various times during the re...

    Regulation of juvenile hormone titer in African locust

    In the African locust, the titer of C-16 JH in hemolymph (determined by GC-MS), reflects the rate of hormone biosynthesis (determined by RCA) in normal adult females. Severance of the nervi corporis allati-I (...
