Abstract
The secretion of the corpora allata, the juvenile hormone (JH), has a morphogenetic function during the larval life of an insect and may act as a gonadotropin in the adult. On the basis of transplantation experiments, it had been concluded that the hormone of the corpora allata is stage and order unspecific (Wigglesworth, 1970; Novák, 1966). Consequently, the name “juvenile hormone” was retained irrespective of its endocrinological function during a specific postembryonic stage. Piepho (1950) even had suggested that the juvenile hormones of all insects be chemically related, if not identical.
