Abstract: Sesquiterpenoid methyl farnesoate (MF), a crustacean equivalent of insect juvenile hormone (JH III), has essential functions in regulating physiological processes in crustaceans, including reproduction and vitellogenesis. Farnesoic acid O-methyltransferase (FAMeT) is a key rate-limiting enzyme… read more here.
