Role of Methoprene-tolerant in the regulation of oogenesis in Dipetalogaster maxima
Abstract Juvenile hormone (JH) signalling, via its receptor Methoprene-tolerant (Met), controls metamorphosis and reproduction in insects. Met belongs to a superfamily of transcription factors containing the basic Helix Loop Helix (bHLH) and Per Arnt Sim (PAS) domains.

Analytical Method of Methoprene in Foods Using HPLC
We studied the determination of methoprene in foods by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The sample was extracted with acetonitrile and the extract was salted out by adding sodium chloride, allowing the acetonitrile layer to separate. The acetonitrile solution was washed with hexane saturated with acetonitrile, cleaned up on a Florisil ...

Effects of methoprene on Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) [PDF]
Due to concerns with synthetic neurotoxic insecticides used in insect pest management, alternative control methods are sought. Methoprene is a juvenile hormone analogue, which is well-known for its lethal effects on immature insects, and is registered as

Fate of methoprene in temperate salt marsh ditches following aerial applications [PDF]
Aerial applications of liquid methoprene are used in salt marshes to control mosquitoes by preventing adult emergence. Despite concern about toxicity to non-target organisms, little is known about environmental concentrations after applications, nor ...
