Transcription‐inducing activity of natural and synthetic juvenile hormone agonists through the Drosophila Methoprene‐tolerant protein
30 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Juvenile hormones (JHs) are a class of sesquiterpenoids that play a pivotal role in insect growth and reproduction. Synthetic JH agonists (JHAs), including pyriproxyfen, have been widely used as insecticides to control agricultural pests and disease vectors. The antimetamorphic action of JHAs is mediated by their intracellular receptor, the heterodimer of Methoprene-tolerant (Met) and Taiman (Tai)...
