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. Phylogenetic analyses showed that NlVg-like1 and NlVg-like2 are not clustered with the conventional insect Vgs associated with vitellogenesis.

PRY-1/Axin signaling regulates lipid metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans constitutes a leading animal model to study how signaling pathway components function in conserved biological processes. Here, we describe the role of an Axin family member, PRY-1, in lipid metabolism.

Social exploitation of vitellogenin [PDF]
Proceedings 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 ...

Insect Bacterial Symbiont-Mediated Vitellogenin Uptake into Oocytes To Support Egg Development
mBio, 2020 Many insect species, such as aphids, leafhoppers, planthoppers, and whiteflies harbor obligate bacterial symbionts that can be transovarially transmitted to offspring through the oocytes of female insects.

Molecular Characterization of Neoseiulus barkeri Vitellogenin Genes and Vitellogenin Receptor during Reproductive Diapause [PDF]
Insects, 2020 The relationship between reproductive diapause and the genes related to vitellogenin (Vg) and its receptor (VgR) in insectoid ovarian development is still unclear. Accordingly, in the present study, we used hematoxylin and eosin staining to study the ovarian structure in the predatory mite Neoseiulus barkeri, a species that shows promise as a ...
