Abstract
► First cloning and functional characterisation of a pentatomomorphan (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) ecdysone receptor. ► Pentatomomorphan ecdysone receptor binds proposed moulting hormone makisterone A with similar affinity to commonly known insect moulting hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone. ► Heteropteran ecdysone receptors are distinct from those of the Sternorrhyncha.
