  • Title: Forced synthesis of trace amounts of juvenile hormone II from propionate by corpora allata of a juvenile hormone III-producing insect.
    Author: Feyereisen R, Farnsworth DE.
    Journal: Experientia; 1988 Jan 15; 44(1):47-9. PubMed ID: 3350118.
    Abstract:
    Corpora allata of the cockroach Diploptera punctata normally synthesize only the isoprenoid juvenile hormone III (JH III). Only under extreme in vitro conditions (absence of carbon sources other than propionate) do they produce trace amounts of the homoisoprenoid JH II in addition to JH III. The specificity of the in vitro synthesis of JH III by D. punctata is thus consistent with the observed lack of homoisoprenoid JHs in this insect.
