Ecdysone receptor (EcR) is the primary regulator of the ecdysteroid signalling pathway, a
critical pathway that directly links to moulting. In addition, EcR also regulates growth …

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are ubiquitous in marine ecosystems. These
compounds can be accumulated in water, sediments and organisms, persist in time, and …

Since the initial suggestion of using insect hormones or their mimics as the third-generation
insecticides, great strides have been made in the discovery of three classes of such insect …

Newly molted first stage juvenile mud crabs (C1), Scylla paramamosain, were subjected to
different temperatures (14, 20, 26, 32 and 39° C), salinity (5, 10, 20, 30 and 40), starvation …

A heterodimeric complex of two nuclear receptors, the ecdysone receptor (ECR) and
ultraspiracle (USP), transduces 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) signaling to modulate insect …

Arthropod molt is coordinated through the interplay between ecdysteroids and neuropeptide
hormones. In crustaceans, changes in the activity of Y-organs during the molt cycle have …

Although the sesquiterpenoid juvenile hormone (JH) and the steroidal ecdysteroids are of
vital importance to the development and reproduction of insects, our understanding of the …

Arthropods have long been utilized as models to explore molecular function, and the
findings derived from them can be applied throughout metazoa, including as a basis for …

Ecdysteroids initiate signaling along multiple pathways that regulate various aspects of
development, maturation, and reproduction in arthropods. This study was carried out to seek …

This study investigated the comparison of the growth performance and nutritional qualities of
Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis) with different stocking densities (D02: 0.2 inds/m 2; …
