Abstract excerpt

The Methoprene-tolerant (Met) mutation of Drosophila melanogaster results in resistance to juvenile hormone (JH) or JH analogs and appears to alter JH reception during late larval development. Several alleles of Met have been recovered from methoprene selection screens after mutagenesis with ethy...
