Abstract

We report the experimental evaluation of the impact of 10 modified 20-hydroxyecdysone derivatives on the duration and efficacy of domestic fly imaginal reproduction in the strains with an increased (Sh gen) and decreased (L gen) lifespan. A scoring method is proposed to comparatively analyze the impact of the compounds on imaginal reproduction.
