PLoS ONE, 2023 Ecdysteroids control ovary growth and egg production through a complex gene hierarchy. In the female Rhodnius prolixus, a blood-gorging triatomine and the vector of Chagas disease, we have identified the ecdysone response genes in the ovary using ...

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 ...

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 470-485, June 2025.Autophagy‐related genes exert their effects not only by regulating autophagy but also by modulating apoptosis. This study provided evidence for anti‐apoptotic effects of Atg3 and Atg5 and pro‐apoptotic effects of Atg12 in the posterior silk gland.

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.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 There is growing evidence that peptides encoded by small open-reading frames (sORF or smORF) can fulfill various cellular functions and define a novel class regulatory molecules.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2017 Molting is critical for growth, development, reproduction, and survival in arthropods. Complex neuroendocrine pathways are involved in the regulation of molting and may potentially become targets of environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs ...

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Organisms inhabiting highly seasonal environments must cope with a wide range of environmentally induced challenges. Many seasonal challenges require extensive physiological modification to survive. In winter, to survive extreme cold and limited resources, insects commonly enter diapause, which is an endogenously derived dormant state ...

The genome-wide transcriptional regulatory landscape of ecdysone in the silkworm
Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2018 The silkworm, Bombyx mori, a typical representative of metamorphic insects, is of great agricultural and economic importance. The steroid hormone ecdysone (20-hydroxyecdysone, 20E) is the central regulator of insect developmental transitions, and its ...

Comparative analysis of the molecular starvation response of Southern Ocean copepods
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Large lipid‐storing copepods dominate mesozooplankton biomass in the polar oceans and form a critical link between primary production and higher trophic levels. The ecological success of these species depends on their ability to survive periods of food deprivation in a highly seasonal environment, but the molecular changes that mediate ...

Rapid divergence of the ecdysone receptor in Diptera and Lepidoptera suggests coevolution between ECR and USP-RXR [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution 4, 20 (2003) 541-553, 2008 Ecdysteroid hormones are major regulators in reproduction and development of insects, including larval molts and metamorphosis. The functional ecdysone receptor is a heterodimer of ECR (NR1H1) and USP-RXR (NR2B4), which is the orthologue of vertebrate retinoid X receptors (RXR alpha, beta, gamma).
