A plant diterpene counteracts juvenile hormone-mediated gene regulation during Drosophila melanogaster larval development.
Many plant species possess compounds with juvenile hormone disruptor (JHD) activity. In some plant species, such activity has been attributed to diterpene secondary metabolites. Plant JHD diterpenes disrupt insect development by interfering with the juvenile hormone (JH)-mediated formation of JH rec...
