Leafhopper salivary vitellogenin mediates virus transmission to plant phloem
Salivary effectors of piercing-sucking insects can suppress plant defense to promote insect feeding, but it remains largely elusive how they...

Genomic disturbance of vitellogenin 2 (vtg2) leads to vitellin membrane deficiencies and significant mortalities at early stages of embryonic development in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
The specific functions and essentiality of type II vitellogenin (Vtg2) in early zebrafish development were investigated in this study. A vtg2 -mutant...

Silencing of vitellogenin gene contributes to the promise of controlling red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier)
Red palm weevil [ Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier)], is native to South Asia and expanding its distribution range globally. Recent invasions of red...

Evidence for a transcellular route for vitellogenin transport in the telotrophic ovary of Podisus nigrispinus (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)
Vitellogenin is the main yolk precursor protein in insect oocytes. It is synthesized in the fat body and released into the hemolymph. To reach the...

Yolk proteins of the schistosomiasis vector snail Biomphalaria glabrata revealed by multi-omics analysis
Vitellogenesis is the most important process in animal reproduction, in which yolk proteins play a vital role. Among multiple yolk protein...

The effect of the brood and the queen on early gene expression in bumble bee workers' brains
Worker reproduction in social insects is often regulated by the queen, but can be regulated by the brood and nestmates, who may use different...

Role of Methoprene-tolerant in the regulation of oogenesis in Dipetalogaster maxima
Juvenile hormone (JH) signalling, via its receptor Methoprene-tolerant (Met), controls metamorphosis and reproduction in insects. Met belongs to a...
