This project aims to identify the receptor for juvenile hormone in insects, which is crucial for regulating their development. It involves collaboration with a research team in Australia to analyze the structure of the receptor and improve scientific expertise in Europe.
Juvenile hormone (JH) is a critical regulator of insect development. JH prevents juvenile to adult transformation (metamorphosis) until a larva attains a proper size, at which time a drop in JH titer permits adult morphogenesis.
Therefore, JH treatment of final-stage larvae blocks metamorphosis and perpetuates their juvenile state.
This status-quo effect is significant for use of JH mimics, such as methoprene, for insect pest and disease vector control.
Despite considerable effort, the molecular…
