Juvenile Hormone Suppression of a Hemolymph Protein at the mRNA Level

该实验结果将为幼激素抑制基因表达的作用机制提供新的、原始的数据。使用在变态过程中高度表达的蛋白质作为研究模型，确保了这些发现将进一步加深我们对昆虫发育调节的基本和发育关键点的理解和破坏能力。JH在无脊椎动物群体中的广泛存在和重要性，保证了研究结果对无脊椎动物具有广泛的意义和适用性。这些关于幼崽激素的研究结果也可能对维甲酸调节脊椎动物基因表达的作用的研究具有重要意义。

The result of the experiments will be new and original data on the mechanisms of action of juvenile hormone (JH) suppress gene expression. The use of a protein which becomes highly expressed during metamorphosis as the model for study ensures that the findings will further our understanding of, and ability to disrupt, a fundamental and developmentally critical point of regulation of insect development. The occurrence and importance of JH in a wide range of invertebrate groups ensures that the results will have wide significance and applicability towards invertebrates. It is also probable that the results of such studies on juvenile hormone will have important implications for studies on the action of retinoic acid in regulation of vertebrate gene expression.
