Molecular evolution of bumble bee vitellogenin and vitellogenin‐like genes [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 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 ...

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.

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.

Unveiling the conserved mechanism of microsporidian vertical transmission: A comparative study of Nosema infection across host species [PDF]
VirulenceMicrosporidia, ubiquitous obligate intracellular parasites infecting a wide range of hosts from humans to economically vital animals, employ transovarial transmission (TOT) as their primary vertical transmission mode.

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.

Regulatory Mechanisms of Vitellogenesis in Insects
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Vitellogenesis is pre-requisite to insect egg production and embryonic development after oviposition. During insect vitellogenesis, the yolk protein precursor vitellogenin (Vg) is mainly synthesized in the fat body, transported by the hemolymph through ...

Hemocyte-mediated phagocytosis differs between honey bee (Apis mellifera) worker castes.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Honey bees as other insects rely on the innate immune system for protection against diseases. The innate immune system includes the circulating hemocytes (immune cells) that clear pathogens from hemolymph (blood) by phagocytosis, nodulation or ...
