Genomic Identification and Functional Analysis of JHAMTs in the Pond Wolf Spider, <i>Pardosa pseudoannulata</i>
Juvenile hormone (JH) plays a critical role in many physiological activities of Arthropoda. Juvenile hormone acid methyltransferase (JHAMT) is involved in the last steps of JH biosynthesis as an important rate-limiting enzyme. In recent studies, an increasing number of JHAMTs were identified in arth...
