The Insect Prothoracic Gland as a Model for Steroid Hormone Biosynthesis and Regulation
Cell Reports, 2016 Steroid hormones are ancient signaling molecules found in vertebrates and insects alike. Both taxa show intriguing parallels with respect to how steroids function and how their synthesis is regulated.

Precocious metamorphosis in the juvenile hormone-deficient mutant of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Insect molting and metamorphosis are intricately governed by two hormones, ecdysteroids and juvenile hormones (JHs). JHs prevent precocious metamorphosis and allow the larva to undergo multiple rounds of molting until it attains the proper size for ...

Inhibitory Effects of the Corpora Cardiaca and of the Corpus Allatum in Drosophila [PDF]
Nature, 1946 THE function of the corpora cardiaca in Diptera is, at present, obscure. According to unpublished data of M. Thomson (cit. by E. Thomsen1), an extract of the corpus cardiacum of the blowfly (Calli-phora), when injected into blinded shrimps (Leander) with maximally expanded chromatophores causes a strong contraction of the red and black pigment.

LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus
Insect Science, EarlyView.The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.

Hormonal control of protein synthesis in the fat body of Leptinotarsa decemlineata [PDF]
, 1979 This thesis deals with the hormonal control of protein synthesis in the female fat body of Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say. The results are discussed in relation to reproduction (obtained by rearing under long day conditions) and the preparation for ...

New Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.Flight in female beet webworms (Loxostege sticticalis) promotes an increase in feeding, thereby enhancing abdominal energy reserves. Following flight, the flight muscles undergo accelerated histolysis, and the energy substances undergoing histolysis are redirected to the ovaries. These two processes collectively promote ovarian development.
