Vitellogenin and Vitellogenin-Like Genes in the Brown Planthopper [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Relationships among tissues, biofluids, and otolith selenium concentrations in wild female burbot (Lota lota)

open access: yesIntegrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Social exploitation of vitellogenin [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003
Vitellogenin is a female-specific glucolipoprotein yolk precursor produced by all oviparous animals. Vitellogenin expression is under hormonal control, and the protein is generally synthesized directly before yolk deposition. In the honeybee ( Apis mellifera ), vitellogenin is not only synthesized by the ...

Hemocyte-mediated phagocytosis differs between honey bee (Apis mellifera) worker castes.

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Early gonadal maturation and vitellogenin mRNA expression in Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii cultured in a semi-closed water recirculating system in Korea

open access: yesJournal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2020
Changes of gonadal morphology and mRNA expression patterns of vitellogenin were investigated in Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii (Chondrostei) during its early gonadal maturation period.

Effect of Insulin Receptor on Juvenile Hormone Signal and Fecundity in Spodoptera litura (F.)

open access: yesInsects, 2022
Insulin signaling can regulate various physiological functions, such as energy metabolism and reproduction and so on, in many insects, including mosquito and locust. However, the molecular mechanism of this physiological process remains elusive.

Reduced glutamine synthetase activity alters the fecundity of female Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Glutamine synthetase (GS) is a key enzyme in glutamine synthesis and is associated with multiple physiological processes in insects, such as embryonic development, heat shock response, and fecundity regulation.

Susceptibility to the Neonicotinoid Pesticide Imidacloprid Is Linked to Life History Regulation in Honey Bees (Apis mellifera L.). [PDF]

open access: yesMol Ecol
ABSTRACT The Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) is a globally important pollinator. Its health in natural and managed populations is compromised by numerous factors, including pesticides. Neonicotinoid pesticides are widely used even though they can cause a variety of detrimental effects.
