Social administration of juvenile hormone to larvae increases body size and nutritional needs for pupation [PDF]
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

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 ...

Juvenile hormone regulates the maturation of sexually dimorphic naive ethanol olfactory preference in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe molecular mechanisms underlying the maturation of innate reward behaviours remain poorly understood. We have identified a sexually dimorphic innate reward behaviour in Drosophila melanogaster that varies depending on the age, sex and mating status in

The seminal vesicle is a juvenile hormone-responsive tissue in adult male Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Open BiologyJuvenile hormone (JH) is one of the most essential hormones controlling insect metamorphosis and physiology. While it is well known that JH affects many tissues throughout the insect life cycle, the difference in JH responsiveness and the repertoire of ...

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.

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

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.

Gonadotropins in the Russian Sturgeon: Their Role in Steroid Secretion and the Effect of Hormonal Treatment on Their Secretion. [PDF]
, 2016 In the reproduction process of male and female fish, pituitary derived gonadotropins (GTHs) play a key role. To be able to specifically investigate certain functions of Luteinizing (LH) and Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in Russian sturgeon ...
