Sex-Specific Response to Predator Auditory Cues in Asian Corn Borer (<i>Ostrinia furnacalis</i>). [PDF]
Ecol EvolFemales downregulate more DEGs; males upregulate under predation risk. Males boost ecdysteroid; females reduce fecundity under bat ultrasound. Female O. furnacalis reacted more strongly to auditory cues of bats than males. ABSTRACT Predation risk has profound effects on prey from phenotype to gene expression.

Steroid hormone control of cell death and cell survival: molecular insights using RNAi.
PLoS Genetics, 2009 The insect steroid hormone ecdysone triggers programmed cell death of obsolete larval tissues during metamorphosis and provides a model system for understanding steroid hormone control of cell death and cell survival.

Pigment dispersing factor regulates ecdysone biosynthesis via bombyx neuropeptide G protein coupled receptor-B2 in the prothoracic glands of Bombyx mori. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Ecdysone is the key hormone regulating insect growth and development. Ecdysone synthesis occurs in the prothoracic glands (PGs) and is regulated by several neuropeptides.

TITER EKDISON LOBSTER HIJAU PASIR (Panulirus homarus L.) PADA FASE PREMOLTING AKHIR
Scripta Biologica, 2017 Spiny Lobster, Panulirus homarus, farming is very potential to be developed in Lombok Island, but physiological aspects such as nutrient needs and growth hormone, especially ecdysone titer, were little known. This research aimed to determine the ecdysone

Penaeid shrimp genome provides insights into benthic adaptation and frequent molting [PDF]
, 2019 Crustacea, the subphylum of Arthropoda which dominates the aquatic environment, is of major importance in ecology and fisheries. Here we report the genome sequence of the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, covering similar to 1.66 Gb (scaffold ...

Mechanisms of transcriptional regulation of ecdysone response
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2019 The mechanisms of ecdysone-dependent expression have been studied for many decades. Initially, the activation of individual genes under the influence of ecdysone was studied on the model of polythene chromosomes from salivary glands of Drosophila ...

Ash2 acts as an ecdysone receptor coactivator by stabilizing the histone methyltransferase Trr. [PDF]
, 2013 The molting hormone ecdysone triggers chromatin changes via histone modifications that are important for gene regulation. On hormone activation, the ecdysone receptor (EcR) binds to the SET domain-containing histone H3 methyltransferase trithorax-related
