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 …

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

Insect molting and metamorphosis are intricately governed by two hormones, ecdysteroids
and juvenile hormones (JHs). JHs prevent precocious metamorphosis and allow the larva to …

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

To gain insights into how juvenile hormone (JH) came to regulate insect metamorphosis, we
studied its function in the ametabolous firebrat, Thermobia domestica. Highest levels of JH …

Female reproductive processes, which comprise, amongst others, the synthesis of yolk
proteins and the endocrine mechanisms which regulate this synthesis, need a considerable …

Two genes coding for enzymes previously reported to be involved in the final steps of
juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthesis in different insect species, were characterised in the …

The transcription factor Forkhead-box O (FoxO) is the main transcriptional effector of the
Insulin Receptor/Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (InR/PI3K) pathway. In a situation of nutrient …

In addition to preventing precocious larval metamorphosis, juvenile hormone (JH),
synthesized in corpora allata (CA), is known to stimulate female reproduction of insects. JH …

Juvenile hormones (JH s) represent a family of sesquiterpenoid hormones in insects, and
they play a key role in regulating development, metamorphosis, and reproduction. The last …
