Ruhland U, Romer F.
PMID: 28304910
Wilehm Roux Arch Dev Biol. 1977 Jun;181(2):123-134. doi: 10.1007/BF00848437.

The content of moulting hormones has been determined in homogenates of isolated prothoracic glands and oenocytes during the 5th instar of the silkworm,Bombyx mori by means of the Calliphora bioassay.Prothoracic glands show variable activity in the production of moulting...

PeerJ. 2015 Jul 14;3:e1079. doi: 10.7717/peerj.1079. eCollection 2015.

Methylation has previously been associated with allele specific expression in ants. Recently, we found methylation is important in worker reproduction in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris. Here we searched for allele specific expression in twelve genes associated with worker reproduction...

Different feeding and gustatory responses to ecdysone and 20-hydroxyecdysone by larvae of the silkworm,Bombyx mori.

Journal of chemical ecology

Tanaka Y, Asaoka K, Takeda S.
PMID: 24241703
J Chem Ecol. 1994 Jan;20(1):125-33. doi: 10.1007/BF02065995.

The feeding and gustatory responses to ecdysone and 20-hydroxyecdysone were investigated in the silkworm,Bombyx mori. 20-Hydroxyecdysone reduced feeding response strongly in fourth- and fifth-instar larvae, whereas ecdysone had no effect on feeding response. 20-Hydroxyecdysone stimulated the R receptor, the...

Ecdysone Regulated RNA synthesis in Drosophila larval salivary glands.

Endocrine regulations

Farkas R.
PMID: 10993979
Endocr Regul. 1995 Sep;29(3):171-185.

The changes in total and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis in cultured larval salivary glands of Drosophila in response to steroid hormone ecdysone have been studied. By using the incorporation of [3H]-uridine or [32P]-UTP into salivary gland cells, followed by...

Growth-promoting effects of ecdysteroids and juvenile hormone on in vitro development of the larval endoparasitoid, Venturia canescens (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae).

Journal of insect physiology

Nakahara Y, Hiraoka T, Iwabuchi K.
PMID: 12770211
J Insect Physiol. 2000 Apr;46(4):467-476. doi: 10.1016/s0022-1910(99)00133-x.

We previously reported that lipophorin, fetal bovine serum (FBS), and 20-hydroxyecdysone (20-HE) are essential for the development of the larval endoparasitoid Venturia canescens larvae in vitro. The present study was undertaken to determine the optimal concentrations of those three...

Localization of the mosquito insulin receptor homolog (MIR) in reproducing yellow fever mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti).

Journal of insect physiology

Helbling P, Graf R.
PMID: 12770311
J Insect Physiol. 1998 Dec;44(12):1127-1135. doi: 10.1016/s0022-1910(97)00039-5.

The female mosquito takes a blood meal to produce a batch of eggs. Initiation of egg maturation and growth of oocytes is governed by several endocrine factors. Peptide factors from the brain are involved in this process and some...

Ecdysteroid release by the prothoracic gland of Gryllus bimaculatus (Ensifera: Gryllidae) during larval-adult development.

Journal of insect physiology

Hoffmann KH, Lorenz MW, Oeh U.
PMID: 12770430
J Insect Physiol. 1998 Oct;44(10):941-946. doi: 10.1016/s0022-1910(98)00057-2.

The in vitro secretion of ecdysteroids from the prothoracic glands of larvae of Gryllus bimaculatus was analysed by HPLC-RIA. The primary product was identified as 3-dehydroecdysone (65-93%), with lesser amounts of ecdysone (7-35%). Production and release of ecdysteroids from...

Cycling of ecdysteroid levels in adult female stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans in relation to blood feeding.

Journal of insect physiology

Chen AC, Kelly TJ.
PMID: 12770457
J Insect Physiol. 1997 Aug;43(8):789-794. doi: 10.1016/s0022-1910(97)00031-0.

The effect of blood-feeding on total and specific immunoreactive ecdysteroids in Stomoxys calcitrans adult females was examined following the fourth and fifth blood meals when total whole body and hemolymph ecdysteroids showed a dramatic increase in the titer. In...

Evidence for the presence of makisterone A in Drosophila larvae and the secretion of 20-deoxymakisterone A by the ring gland.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Redfern CP.
PMID: 16593512
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1984 Sep;81(18):5643-7. doi: 10.1073/pnas.81.18.5643.

Ring glands or brain-ring gland complexes from third-instar Drosophila melanogaster larvae secreted ecdysone [(22R)-2beta,3beta,14alpha,22,25-pentahydroxy-5beta-cholest-7-en-6-one] and two less polar ecdysteroids (LP1 and LP2) in vitro. Radioimmunoassay with different antisera indicated that LP1 and LP2 are side-chain-modified analogues of ecdysone. In...

In vitro activation of insect prothoracic glands by the prothoracicotropic hormone.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Bollenbacher WE, Agui N, Granger NA, Gilbert LI.
PMID: 16578758
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1979 Oct;76(10):5148-52. doi: 10.1073/pnas.76.10.5148.

An in vitro assay for the prothoracicotropic hormone has been developed that utilizes an ecdysone radioimmunoassay to quantify the increase in the rate of ecdysone synthesis elicited by the neurohormonal activation of the prothoracic glands. The rapidity, reproducibility, and...

Chino H, Sakurai S, Ohtaki T, Ikekawa N, Miyazaki H, Ishibashi M, Abuki H.
PMID: 17773042
Science. 1974 Feb 08;183(4124):529-30. doi: 10.1126/science.183.4124.529.

An in vitro study in which isolated prothoracic glands of the Bombyx silkworm were cultured has provided definite evidence that the prothoracic gland is the site where molting hormone is synthesized. The hormone behaved very similarly to free ecdysone...
