摘要
近年来 ,在甲壳动物大颚腺中发现了一种具有保幼激素活性的物质——法呢酸甲酯 MF ,它是与昆虫保幼激素 JH 结构相似的一种倍半萜类化合物 ,对甲壳动物的生长、发育和繁殖有重要调控作用 ,而
Juvenile hormone (JH)has important roles in the regulation of insect development and reproduction. Today,there is another product that has been identified to be JH of crustaceans.It is methyl farnesoate (MF).MF is a sesquiterpenoid produced by the mandibular organ (MO)of decapod crustaceans.Its synthesis has been detected in MO from many species.Its chemical structure is similar to JHⅢ,but lacking in the epoxide moiety.JH is produced by corpus allatus (CA).MO as the site of synthesis of MF has been suggested to be an analogeus of insect CA,the site of production of JH,on the basis of similiarities in ultrastructure and embryonic orgin of these two organs .Some studies revealed that MF plays an important physiological role in the regulation of larval development and adult reproduction of Crustacean as JH in insect.
