MicroRNA let-7 is required for hormonal regulation of metamorphosis in the silkworm, Bombyx mori
2022, Insect Biochemistry and Molecular BiologyCitation Excerpt :When the JHs titer declines to a trace level in the final instar, larval-pupal and pupal-adult metamorphoses are induced by 20E (Belles, 2020; Nijhout, 1994). Topical application of JHs or JH analogs during larval development of numerous insects inhibits normal metamorphosis, leading to supernumerary larval molts or prepupal arrest (Kadono-okuda et al., 1986; Kamimura and Kiuchi, 2002). Conversely, the deprivation of JH by the surgical removal of the corpora allata (CA) from the penultimate larvae induces precocious metamorphosis (Dominick and Truman, 1985).
Improved strength of silk fibers in Bombyx mori trimolters induced by an anti-juvenile hormone compound
2018, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - General SubjectsCitation Excerpt :The growth and molting of silkworms are closely regulated by the hormones ecdysone, which causes molting, and juvenile hormone (JH), which prevents metamorphosis [31–33]. Considerable research has been undertaken to develop improved varieties of silkworm through disruption of the natural hormonal balance [34–36]. Currently, a number of treatments have been identified to induce precocious metamorphosis, for example, the juvenile hormone inhibitors KK-42, SD-III, SM-1, and YA20 and juvenile hormone analogues such as Kang-20 and methoprene [37–41].
