Characterizing novel genes involved in steroidogenesis during the larval development in Drosophila melanogaster
DownloadSpring 2022
The primary steroid hormone in Drosophila melanogaster is called ecdysone, which is synthesized in the larval prothoracic gland (PG) during developmental processes. Ecdysone biosynthesis is significantly up-regulated at the beginning of the third larval instar, resulting in a major ecdysone pulse...

Ecdysone, the primary steroid hormone in insects produced primarily in the prothoracic gland during larval development, is responsible for coordinating developmental transitions such as larval molts and metamorphosis during the Drosophila life-cycle. The ecdysone biosynthesis pathway, which...

Genetic, genomic and molecular studies of signaling pathways controlling ecdysone biosynthesis in Drosophila melanogaster
DownloadFall 2013
In insects, periodic pulses of the molting hormone ecdysone control all major developmental transitions such as the molts and metamorphosis. Ecdysone, a steroid hormone, is produced in the prothoracic gland during larval and pupal development of Drosophila. While we have a relatively good...
