[The effect of an injection of synthetic juvenile hormone on Locusta migratoria L].

Hyalophora cecropia synthetic juvenile hormone (Demoute and al., 1973) is injected at doses of 50, 100 or 200 mug in 10 mul of pure peanut oil in fourth stadium of Locusta migratoria migratorioides. This synthetic juvenile hormone shows high chromatotropic, gonadotropic, and juvenilizing actions which are very similar to those of one pair of corpora allata of the species.
