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.

Juvenile Hormone Studies in Drosophila melanogaster
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 In the field of insect endocrinology, juvenile hormone (JH) is one of the most wondrous entomological terms. As a unique sesquiterpenoid hormone produced and released by the endocrine gland, corpus allatum (CA), JH is a critical regulator in multiple ...

Analysis of genes expression of Spodoptera exigua larvae upon AcMNPV infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: The impact of Autographa californica multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) infection on host gene expression in Spodoptera exigua 4th instar larvae was investigated through the use of 454 sequencing-based RNA-seq of cDNA libraries ...

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.

Skeletal manifestations of juvenile hypothyroidism and the impact of treatment on skeletal system
Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013 Thyroid hormone mediates growth and development of the skeleton through its direct effects and through its permissive effects on growth hormone. The effect of hypothyroidism on bone is well described in congenital hypothyroidism, but the impact of ...

Defining behavioral and molecular differences between summer and migratory monarch butterflies
BMC Biology, 2009 Background In the fall, Eastern North American monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) undergo a magnificent long-range migration. In contrast to spring and summer butterflies, fall migrants are juvenile hormone deficient, which leads to reproductive ...

Reconstruction of insect hormone pathways in an aquatic firefly, Sclerotia aquatilis (Coleoptera: Lampyridae), using RNA-seq [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Insect hormones: ecdysteroids and juvenile hormones have crucial functions during the regulation of different developmental pathways in insects. Insect metamorphosis is one of the primary pathways regulated by these hormones.
