Molecular Characterization of Vitellogenin and Vitellogenin Receptor of Bemisia tabaci. [PDF]
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.

Molecular evolution of bumble bee vitellogenin and vitellogenin‐like genes [PDF]
Vitellogenin (Vg), a storage protein, has been significantly studied for its egg yolk precursor role in oviparous animals. Recent studies found that vitellogenin and its Vg‐like homologs were fundamentally involved in many other biological processes in ...

Characterization of the low-density lipoprotein receptors family and identification of vitellogenin receptors in Mugil cephalus [PDF]
Vitellogenin 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]
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.
