Defecation in preparation for ecdysis drives microplastic clearance in cricket nymphs
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.In preparation for ecdysis, cricket nymphs cease feeding and gradually clear their gut contents via frass production, which removes most ingested MPs from their digestive tract. Following exoskeletal moulting, the foregut lining, including any remaining MPs, is shed and excreted alongside frass approximately 6 h later.

Impact of steroid hormone signals on
Cell Division, 2009 Metamorphosis of Drosophila involves proliferation, differentiation and death of larval tissues in order to form the adult fly. The major steroid hormone implicated in the larval-pupal transition and adult tissue modelling is ecdysone.

Unexpected role of the steroid-deficiency protein ecdysoneless in pre-mRNA splicing. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 The steroid hormone ecdysone coordinates insect growth and development, directing the major postembryonic transition of forms, metamorphosis. The steroid-deficient ecdysoneless1 (ecd1) strain of Drosophila melanogaster has long served to assess the ...

Functional investigations of the Ecdysone Receptor and production of ecdysone in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) [PDF]
, 2016 The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis is a marine ectoparasitic copepod naturally infecting salmonid fishes in the Northern hemisphere. At present, salmon louse infections are the most severe disease problem in the salmon farming industry causing ...

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2020 Aldosterone is produced by the mammalian adrenal cortex to modulate blood pressure and fluid balance; however, excessive, prolonged aldosterone promotes fibrosis and kidney failure.

Function and Evolution of Nuclear Receptors in Environmental-Dependent Postembryonic Development
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Nuclear receptors (NRs) fulfill key roles in the coordination of postembryonal developmental transitions in animal species. They control the metamorphosis and sexual maturation in virtually all animals and by that the two main environmental-dependent ...

Ecdysone Oxidase: Reaction and Specificity [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1978 Ecdysone oxidase oxidizes 3‐hydroxysteroids of the ecdysteroid type irreversibly to 3‐dehydro derivatives. The hydrogen of the steroid is transferred by the enzyme to oxygen which is reduced to hydrogen peroxide. Ecdysone oxidase is relatively specific for ecdysone and ecdysterone. Apparent Michaelis constants for these two physiological substrates are

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5971-5986, July 2026.RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Ovarian development plays an important role in the life history of insects and is crucial for control of the insect population. The metamorphosis of an insect is precisely regulated by the interaction of the juvenile hormone and ecdysone.
