Abstract:
:Juvenile hormone content of Sesamia nonagrioides larvae reared under different environmental conditions that induce diapause was studied using a bioassay on newly-emerged Tribolium confusum pupae. Two analytical methods were also used to measure JHIII content. Extracts from larvae that developed under different conditions of photoperiod and temperature caused different effects in T. confusum pupae. This can be related to different diapause intensities. Extracts from diapausing larvae produced a higher juvenilizing effect than the expected, considering their JHIII titer calculated by the chromatographic analysis. This indicates that hormones other than JHIII must be present in extracts of diapausing larvae of S. nonagrioides. The analytical procedures confirm that diapausing larvae have a higher JHIII titer in the haemolymph than non-diapausing larvae. This shows that JH is involved in the maintenance of diapause in this species.
