Ovaries and embryos from sexually mature Gammarus fossarum were sampled at different stages of the reproductive cycle. The soluble proteome was extracted for five biological replicates and samples were subjected to trypsin digestion.

Caste-specific expressions and diverse roles of takeout genes in the termite Reticulitermes speratus
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

Production of YP170 Vitellogenins Promotes Intestinal Senescence in Caenorhabditis elegans
During aging, etiologies of senescence cause multiple pathologies, leading to morbidity and death. To understand aging requires identification of these etiologies. For example, Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites consume their own intestinal biomass to

Fish–parasite systems could be subject to two scenarios under climate change: (i) increased water temperature might enhance parasite metabolism, allowing the parasite to spread rapidly; (ii) parasitism could decrease if the optimal temperature for growth

MicroRNAs Associated with Caste Determination and Differentiation in a Primitively Eusocial Insect [PDF]
In eusocial Hymenoptera (ants, bees and wasps), queen and worker adult castes typically arise via environmental influences. A fundamental challenge is to understand how a single genome can thereby produce alternative phenotypes. A powerful approach is to

Induction of vitellogenin synthesis by estrogen in avian liver: relationship between level of vitellogenin mRNA and vitellogenin synthesis. [PDF]
We have investigated the estrogen-mediated induction of vitellogenin synthesis in rooster liver. We compared the concentrations of vitellogenin messenger RNA (mRNA) in the liver with the concentrations of vitellogenin in the sera of roosters that had recieved various treatments with estrogen.

Comparative analysis of distinctive transcriptome profiles with biochemical evidence in bisphenol S- and benzo[a]pyrene-exposed liver tissues of the olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. [PDF]
Flounder is a promising model species for environmental monitoring of coastal regions. To assess the usefulness of liver transcriptome profiling, juvenile olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus were exposed to two pollutants, bisphenol S (BPS) and benzo[a]

Multi-omics Analyses of Starvation Responses Reveal a Central Role for Lipoprotein Metabolism in Acute Starvation Survival in C. elegans [PDF]
Starvationcauses comprehensivemetabolicchanges, which are still not fully understood. Here, we used quantitative proteomics and RNA sequencing to examine the temporal starvation responses in wildtype Caenorhabditis elegans and animals lacking the ...

Molecular Characterization of Vitellogenin and Vitellogenin Receptor of Bemisia tabaci
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. Vitellogenin receptors (VgR) present on the surface of oocytes, are responsible for Vg transportation from haemolymph to oocytes.
