Overview of potential biological interactions of JH (methyl farnesoate) in

Expression of relevant target genes in ibuprofen-stressed daphnids (24 to 48 hours of exposure) is indicated by small arrows quantified by either microarrays (normal font) or quantitative PCR (bold font). Note that 20-hydroxyecdysone is the main hormone controlling moulting in , whereas juvenile hormone (JH; in arthropods) prevents sexual maturation between moults in juveniles. (There is currently no evidence from daphnids on this role.) Large arrows signify synthesis or induction of the particular product or process, whereas end bars denote inhibition. Abbreviations are as in Additional data file 1 and Figure 1; genes signify cuticle protein genes (see text for further details).Copyright information:Taken from "Systems biology meets stress ecology: linking molecular and organismal stress responses in "http://genomebiology.com/2008/9/2/R40Genome Biology 2008;9(2):R40-R40.Published online 21 Feb 2008PMCID:PMC2374704.
