Expression analysis of vitellogenins in the workers of the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Vitellogenin has been proposed to regulate division of labor and social organization in social insects. The red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) harbors four distinct, adjacent vitellogenin genes (Vg1, Vg2, Vg3, and Vg4).

Vitellogenins - Yolk Gene Function and Regulation in Caenorhabditis elegans
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Vitellogenins are a family of yolk proteins that are by far the most abundant among oviparous animals. In the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the 6 vitellogenins are among the most highly expressed genes in the adult hermaphrodite intestine, which

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 ...

Roles of Estrogens in the Healthy and Diseased Oviparous Vertebrate Liver
Metabolites, 2021 The liver is a vital organ that sustains multiple functions beneficial for the whole organism. It is sexually dimorphic, presenting sex-biased gene expression with implications for the phenotypic differences between males and females.

Caste-specific expressions and diverse roles of takeout genes in the termite Reticulitermes speratus
Scientific Reports, 2023 Acquisition of novel functions caused by gene duplication may be important for termite social evolution. To clarify this possibility, additional evidence is needed. An important example is takeout, encoding juvenile hormone binding protein. We identified
