The evolution of insect metamorphosis is one of the most important sagas in animal history,
transforming small, obscure soil arthropods into a dominant terrestrial group that has …

Synthetic compounds that mimic the action of juvenile hormones (JHs) are founding
members of a class of insecticides called insect growth regulators (IGRs). Like JHs, these …

In the field of insect endocrinology, juvenile hormone (JH) is one of the most wondrous
entomological terms. As a unique sesquiterpenoid hormone produced and released by the …

During postembryonic life, hormones, including ecdysteroids, juvenile hormones, insulin-like
peptides, and activin/TGFβ ligands act to transform the larval nervous system into an adult …

Methyl farnesoate (MF) plays hormonal regulatory roles in crustaceans. An epoxidated form
of MF, known as juvenile hormone (JH), controls metamorphosis and stimulates …

Insects are arguably the most successful group of animals in the world in terms of both
species numbers and diverse habitats. The sesquiterpenoids juvenile hormone, methyl …

Insect metamorphosis boasts spectacular cases of postembryonic development when
juveniles undergo massive morphogenesis before attaining the adult form and function; in …

Juvenile hormones (JHs) control insect metamorphosis and reproduction. JHs act through a
receptor complex consisting of methoprene-tolerant (Met) and taiman (Tai) proteins to …

Insect metamorphosis is regulated by two main hormones: ecdysone (20E), which promotes
molting, and juvenile hormone (JH), which inhibits adult morphogenesis. The transduction …

A dozen bHLH-PAS transcription factors have evolved since the dawn of the animal
kingdom; nine of them have mutual orthologs between arthropods and vertebrates. These …
