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 ...

Ovary Development and Maturation in Nezara viridula (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) [PDF]
Ovary development and maturation of Nezara viridula (L.) were evaluated by examining ovariole morphology and the alterations in the biochemical (protein synthesis related to reproduction) composition of the hemolymph. Quantitative and qualitative protein

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.

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

Comparative proteomic profiling reveals molecular characteristics associated with oogenesis and oocyte maturation during ovarian development of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) [PDF]
Time-dependent expression of proteins in ovary is important to understand oogenesis in insects. Here, we profiled the proteomes of developing ovaries from Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) to obtain information about ovarian development with particular ...

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.

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

Why is there sequence similarity between insect yolk proteins and vertebrate lipases?
The major proteins stored in the yolk of developing oocytes are thought to provide a nutritional store for utilization during embryogenesis. They seem to fall into two major families of proteins.

Genes underlying reproductive division of labor in termites, with comparisons to social Hymenoptera
All social insects are characterized by a reproductive division of labor. Within a colony only a few individuals reproduce (queens and in termites, also a king) while the large majority (workers and soldiers) forgo reproduction, at least temporarily. The

The major component of the animal egg yolk is the lipoglycoprotein vitellin, derived from its precursor vitellogenin (VTG), which is produced species-specifically in decapod crustaceans in the hepatopancreas and/or in the ovary of reproductive females ...
