Expression and Role of Vitellogenin Genes in Ovarian Development of Zeugodacus cucurbitae

Insects, 2022
Vitellogenin (Vg) genes encode the major egg yolk protein precursor in arthropods. In this study, four Vgs were identified in Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett). Sequence analysis showed that four ZcVgs had the conserved Vg domain.
