The juvenile hormone signaling pathway in insect development
The molecular action of juvenile hormone (JH), a regulator of vital importance to insects, was
until recently regarded as a mystery. The past few years have seen an explosion of studies …

DIPA-CRISPR is a simple and accessible method for insect gene editing
Current approaches for insect gene editing require microinjection of materials into early
embryos. This severely limits the application of gene editing to a great number of insect …

The MEKRE93 (Methoprene tolerant-Krüppel homolog 1-E93) pathway in the regulation of insect metamorphosis, and the homology of the pupal stage
Recent studies on transcription factor E93 revealed that it triggers adult morphogenesis in
Blattella germanica, Tribolium castaneum and Drosophila melanogaster. Moreover, we …

Conserved repressive function of Krüppel homolog 1 on insect metamorphosis in hemimetabolous and holometabolous species
Insect metamorphosis is regulated by ecdysteroids, which induce molts and juvenile
hormone (JH), which inhibits metamorphic changes. The molecular action of ecdysteroids …

Juvenile hormone titers and caste differentiation in the damp-wood termite Hodotermopsis sjostedti (Isoptera, Termopsidae)
Termites are social insects, presenting morphologically distinct castes, performing specific
tasks in the colony. The developmental processes underlying caste differentiation are mainly …

MicroRNAs and the evolution of insect metamorphosis
X Belles - Annual Review of Entomology, 2017 - annualreviews.org
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the regulation of a number of processes associated
with metamorphosis, either in the less modified hemimetabolan mode or in the more …

MiR-2 family regulates insect metamorphosis by controlling the juvenile hormone signaling pathway
In 2009 we reported that depletion of Dicer-1, the enzyme that catalyzes the final step of
miRNA biosynthesis, prevents metamorphosis in Blattella germanica. However, the precise …

How does a juvenile insect transform into an adult? This question, which sums up the
wonder of insect metamorphosis, has fascinated mankind since ancient times. Modern …

Broad-complex functions in postembryonic development of the cockroach Blattella germanica shed new light on the evolution of insect metamorphosis
BACKGROUND: Insect metamorphosis proceeds in two modes: hemimetaboly, gradual
change along the life cycle; and holometaboly, abrupt change from larvae to adult mediated …
