Abstract excerpt
The black (bl) mutant larvae of Manduca sexta produces no detectable juvenile hormone (JH) during the molt to the 5th instar. To investigate the JH control of expression of the two insecticyanin genes, ins-a and ins-b, developmental changes of the two mRNAs were examined in this mutant. In the epidermis of the freshly ecdysed larvae, the two mRNAs were hardly detectable. Twelve hours after ecdysis, the two mRNAs...
