Juvenile hormone involvement in Drosophila melanogaster male reproduction as suggested by the Methoprene-tolerant(27) mutant phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Juvenile hormone (JH) involvement in male reproduction is poorly understood. In Drosophila melanogaster adults, JH deficiency has been shown to result in lowered protein synthesis in male accessory glands. To probe additional roles, we have examined males homozygous for a null allele of Methoprene-tolerant (Met). This gene is involved in the action of JH, possibly at the JH receptor level, and Met(27) null...
