Fig 4. Reduction of hmgcr expression in the CA of jhamt mutant dramatically decreases biosynthesis and titers of the three sesquiterpenoids.
Measurements of biosynthesis of JHB3, JH III, and MF in the brain-RG complexes (A) and whole body titers of JHB3 (B), JH III (B’), and MF (B”) titer in w 1118, jhamt 2, jhamt-GAL4>UAS-hmgcr dsRNA, and jhamt 2/jhamt 2 ; jhamt-GAL4>UAS-hmgcr dsRNA at 3h AIW.
