| Changes in Gene Expression during Larval Development of Calliphora vicina Induced by Ecdysterone  | | | Abstract
| The influence of the insect hormone ecdysterone on the composition of the RNA from the fat bodies of C alliph ora larvae was investigated by hybridization experiments. DNA was iodinated in vitro with 125J. In saturation experiments, total RNA was hybridized to total DNA; under similar conditions, poly (A) RNA was hybridized to unique DNA sequences. RNA isolated from animals treated with ecdysterone exhibits a higher percentage of hybridization than a corresponding control RNA from the same developmental stage, a result even more prominent when poly (A) RNA was hybridized with unique DNA. It is concluded that ecdysterone induces the transcription of new unique DNA sequences. | | |
