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

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.

The Essential Role of Vitellogenin Receptor in Ovary Development and Vitellogenin Uptake in Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2015 The vitellogenin receptor (VgR) functions as an essential component in uptaking and transporting vitellogenin (Vg) in female adults, which is involved in ovary development and oviposition. This study aimed to clarify the molecular characteristics and function of VgR in the oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel).

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 ...

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.

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.

Immune Gene Expression and Locomotor Activity in Response to Vairimorpha ceranae Infection Across Five Honey Bee Subspecies [PDF]
InsectsThis study evaluated immune gene expression and locomotor behavior across five Apis mellifera subspecies (Carniolan, Caucasian, Syrian, Muğla ecotype, and Yığılca ecotype) following controlled Vairimorpha ceranae infection.

bioRxiv, 2022 Vitellogenins are essential for the development and fecundity of insects, but these proteins may also betray them, as we show here. We found that the small N-terminal subunit of vitellogenins of the planthopper Nilaparvata lugens (NlVgN) triggers strong ...
