Suppression of reproductive function in juvenile rams by a slow-release gonadotropin-releasing hormone implant [PDF]
Open Veterinary Journal, 2022 Background: Regarding animal welfare and reversible suppression of reproduction the need for alternatives to surgical castration like slow-release gonadotropin-releasing hormone implants is increasing.

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Social insects often display extreme variation in body size and morphology within the same colony. In many species, adult morphology is socially regulated by workers during larval development. While larval nutrition may play a role in this regulation, it

Regulation of Juvenile Hormone on Summer Diapause of Geleruca daurica and Its Pathway Analysis
Insects, 2021 Juvenile hormone (JH) signaling plays an important role in regulation of reproductive diapause in insects. However, we have little understanding of the effect of JH on gene expression at the transcriptome level in diapause. Galeruca daurica is a new pest

Aspergillus nidulans synthesize insect juvenile hormones upon expression of a heterologous regulatory protein and in response to grazing by Drosophila melanogaster larvae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Secondary metabolites are known to serve a wide range of specialized functions including communication, developmental control and defense. Genome sequencing of several fungal model species revealed that the majority of predicted secondary metabolite ...

Journal of Fungi, 2020 Juvenile hormone has been suggested to be a potential mediator in the trade-off between mating and insects’ immunity. Studies on various insect taxons have found that juvenile hormone interferes with humoral and cellular immunity. Although this was shown

PLoS ONE, 2021 In the highly eusocial wasp, Vespula vulgaris, queens produce honest signals to alert their subordinate workers of their fertility status, and therefore they are reproductively suppressed and help in the colony. The honesty of the queen signals is likely

Structural basis for juvenile hormone biosynthesis by the juvenile hormone acid methyltransferase [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2021 Juvenile hormone (JH) acid methyltransferase (JHAMT) is a rate-limiting enzyme that converts JH acids or inactive precursors of JHs to active JHs at the final step of JH biosynthesis in insects and thus presents an excellent target for the development of insect growth regulators or insecticides.

Differential expression of some termite neuropeptides and insulin/IGF-related hormones and their plausible functions in growth, reproduction and caste determination [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) and other insulin-like peptides (ilps) are important hormones regulating growth and development in animals.

Suppression of Gene Juvenile Hormone Diol Kinase Delays Pupation in Heortia vitessoides Moore
Insects, 2019 Juvenile hormone diol kinase (JHDK) is a critical enzyme involved in juvenile hormone degradation in insects. In this study, HvJHDK in the Heortia vitessoides Moore (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) transcriptional library was cloned.
