Abstract

The expression of the DD2R gene was studied by in situ hybridization in the fat body (place of the synthesis of enzymes that degrade juvenile hormone) and ovarian follicular cells (place of the synthesis of 20-hydroxyecdysone) in young and sexually mature D. melanogaster females. It was demonstrated that the DD2R gene is expressed in the fat body, and its expression is higher in young females than in sexually mature females. The DD2R gene expression was not detected in ovarian follicular cells.
