Zusammenfassung

Mit 18 an Larven der SchabeNauphoeta cinerea getesteten JHA wurden Juvenilisationseffekte erzielt. Das letzte Larvenstadium ist während 85% der Stadiendauer sensitiv. Frisch gehäutete Tiere reagieren auch auf das Lösungsmittel (Aceton) allein. Durch wiederholte Applikation von JHA können mindestens 3 zusätzliche Larvenstadien erzeugt werden, die sich zu Imagines mit abnorm langen Flügeln häuten.

  1. The juvenoids used are listed in Tab. II. Compounds I, IV, V, IX–XII, XV and XVIII were kindly provided by Drs.M. Romaňuk andV. Jarolím of the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, ČSAV, Prague; the remaining substances were obtained by the courtesy of the Zoecon Corporation, Palo Alto, California. All juvenoids were racemic mixtures; the aliphatic compounds contained about 2/3 of the2-trans isomers.
