TLDR
Phylogenetic analysis using 31 Vg sequences from 25 insect species reflects, in general, the current phylogenies of insects, suggesting that Vgs are still phylogenetically bound, although a divergence exists among them.About:

Oogenesis in the Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 species complex
TL;DR: The ovariole structure and oogenesis of the MEAM1 species complex was examined using light and transmission electron microscopy and provided important information that further defines the regulation of oogenesis in the B. tabaci complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two vitellogenins in the loliginid squid Uroteuthis edulis: Identification and specific expression in ovarian follicles
TL;DR: Levels of ue‐VTG1 and ue-VTG2 transcripts in the ovary, specifically in follicular cells, increased during the late‐vitellogenic phase, suggesting that yolk accumulation progresses via paracrine interactions involving follicular Cells and oocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional characterization of the cis-regulatory region for the vitellogenin gene in Plutella xylostella.
TL;DR: PxVgP is an important stage‐, tissue‐ and sex‐specific endogenous cis‐regulatory element in P. xylostella, and strong EGFP fluorescence was observed in adult females and the fat body of females, with low expression in embryos.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in understanding hormonal regulation during the postembryonic development of Helicoverpa armigera
TL;DR: This mini-review summarizes the main findings on the molecular mechanisms of hormonal regulation of the development of H. armigera to present new target genes for developing new approaches to control the pest.

TL;DR: Bantam isomiRs were highly transcribed during the infective stage of copepodid and target prediction using differentially expressed genes in Atlantic salmon infested with sea lice, suggests a putative role of these miRNAs in the host-pathogen interaction.

Mammalian subtilisins: The long-sought dibasic processing endoproteases
TL;DR: After many years of searching for the enzymes responsible for cleavage of mammalian proproteins and prohormones at sites comprised of pairs of basic amino acid residues (“dibasic sites”), the solution to this enigma of cell biology appears to be in sight.

Accumulation of yolk proteins in insect oocytes
TL;DR: In insects, accumulation of yolk, or vitellogenesis, is a heterosynthetic pro cess, in which an extraovarian tissue, the fat body, produces yolk protein precursors, and the role of endocytosis in yolk deposition in insect oocytes is implicated.
