Juvenile hormone III is the exclusive juvenile hormone produced by the corpora allata in adult male Melanoplus sanguinipes. For the first 5 days after adult emergence, the rate of juvenile hormone biosynthesis is low, it then increases rapidly to peak on day 7. Between days 7 and 12 the rate declines to that of newly emerged males and then increases again in 14-day insects. In males allowed a single mating on day 7, the rate of juvenile hormone biosynthesis remains elevated at least to day 12.
