Vitellogenin and Vitellogenin-Like Genes in the Brown Planthopper
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Vitellogenin (Vg) is precursor of vitellin. Here, we identified a Vg (NlVg) and two Vg-likes (NlVg-like1 and NlVg-like2) in the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens.

Characterization of the low-density lipoprotein receptors family and identification of vitellogenin receptors in Mugil cephalus [PDF]
Scientific ReportsVitellogenin receptors (VtgRs) are pivotal to the successful reproductive event in oviparous species by mediating the uptake of vitellogenin (Vtg) into developing oocytes, ensuring proper yolk formation and embryonic development.

Transfer of Immunity from Mother to Offspring Is Mediated via Egg-Yolk Protein Vitellogenin. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 Insect immune systems can recognize specific pathogens and prime offspring immunity. High specificity of immune priming can be achieved when insect females transfer immune elicitors into developing oocytes.

Molecular Characterization of Vitellogenin and Vitellogenin Receptor of Bemisia tabaci. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Vitellogenin (Vg) plays vital role in oocytes and embryo development in insects. Vg is synthesized in the fat body, moves through haemolymph and accumulates in oocytes.

Vertical Transmission of Wolbachia Is Associated With Host Vitellogenin in Laodelphax striatellus
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Wolbachia in host germ lines are essential for their vertical transmission to the next generation. It is unclear how the regulation of host oocyte development influences Wolbachia location and the mechanistic basis of transmission.

Ovarian Development and Vitellogenin Gene Expression under Heat Stress in Silkworm, Bombyx mori
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2016 The present study observed the effect of heat stress on ovarian development, fecundity, and vitellogenin gene expression in silkworm, Bombyx mori. The result showed that the heat shock treatment to spinning larvae and pupae at 39°C (1 h and 2 h) did not ...

A distant TANGO1 family member promotes vitellogenin export from the ER in C. elegans [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Vitellogenin is thought to share a common ancestor with human apolipoprotein B (ApoB) for systemic lipid transport. In Caenorhabditis elegans, although a general route for inter-tissue vitellogenin transport has been described, the full ...
