Abstract

In an effort to determine the nature of the juvenile hormone of a hemipteran insect, we have analyzed the in vitro biosynthetic products of cultured corpora aleata using thin layer chromatography and normal and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. We now report that the corpora aleata of Dysdercus fasciatus (Hemiptera: Pyrrochoridae) synthesize in vitro methyl 3,7,11‐trimethyl‐2__E__, 6__E__, 10‐dodecatrienoate, the methyl ester precursor of juvenile hormone 3.

I-Citronellyl-5-phenyl imidazole (1,5-CPI), l-citronellyl-4-phenyl imidazole (I,& CPI) and I-citronellyl-2-phenyl imidazole (1,2-CPI) were tested as inhibitors of JH-Ill biosynthesis in vitro. 1,5-CPI was found to be most active followed by 1,2-CPI. The least active isomer was 1,4-CPI. Inhibition of
