Abstract excerpt
Juvenile hormone (JH) is a major regulator of insect development and reproduction and its titer is determined largely by central nervous system regulation of JH synthesis by the corpora allata. To establish the basis for a molecular genetic dissection of the neuroendocrine system responsible for modulating JH titer, a radiochemical assay was utilized to examine JH synthesis in vitro by the isolated corpus allatum...
