The Regulation of Juvenile Hormone in Dictyoptera: A Functional and Evolutionary Study of USP/RXR and Allatostatin

The objective of this study was to clarify the regulation of production and signal transduction of juvenile hormone (JH) in insects by experimentally examining the function and evolution of a putative receptor (USP/RXR) and a neuropeptide inhibitor (FGLamide allatostatin). To examine the role of USP...
