Lack of correlation between expression of eGFP and JH biosynthetic activity. Individual CAs were dissected from three insects expressing eGFP in only one CA, and JH biosynthesis was evaluated individually in each individual member of a CA pair. (A) Images of dissected CA, (a) before and (b) after separation of individual CA. (B) Amount of synthesized JH expressed as fmol of JH III/CA/h. Green bars: CA from GFP+, Black bars: CA from GFP-. Scale bar, 100 µm.
