Kr-h1, a Cornerstone Gene in Insect Life History
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Insect life cycle is coordinated by hormones and their downstream effectors. Krüppel homolog1 (Kr-h1) is one of the crucial effectors which mediates the actions of the two critical hormones of insects, the juvenile hormone (JH) and 20-hydroxyecdysone ...

Regulatory Mechanisms of Vitellogenesis in Insects
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Vitellogenesis is pre-requisite to insect egg production and embryonic development after oviposition. During insect vitellogenesis, the yolk protein precursor vitellogenin (Vg) is mainly synthesized in the fat body, transported by the hemolymph through ...
