Identification of a novel autonomous role for Ecdysone Receptor during Drosophila ovarian germ cell differentiation
… to produce viable oocytes. The steroid hormone, ecdysone, is known to promote GSC self-renewal; however, due to lack of compatible genetic tools, potential autonomous roles in the germline have not been fully evaluated. Ecdysone elicits a diverse array of transcriptional responses by binding to a …

Molecular Study of Diapause via Generation of Two CDNA Libraries and Partial Cloning of the Ecdysone Receptor in <em>Sarcophaga crassipalpis</em>.
… regulation of the steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (20-HE). Because the metamorphic system is suspended for diapause in this species, whether or not the EcR is expressed in the diapause state is of interest. To address this issue, a partial EcR was cloned from <em>S. crassipalpis</em> by …

Anti-Ecdysteroidal Activity and Associated Toxicity of Environmental Chemicals in the Crustacean Daphnia magna.
… The fungicide fenarimol was used to modulate ecdysone levels and evaluate the role of ecdysteroids in crustacean embryo development. Fenarimol lowered endogenous ecdysone levels, delayed molting, interfered with embryo development, and reduced fecundity in the crustacean Daphnia magna. The …

Investigating the coordination of germline stem cell fate by ecdysone signaling and BMP signaling in the Drosophila ovary
… understand how signal convergence is achieved. Ecdysone signaling and Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) signaling are well-known signals that promote GSC self-renewal. Over-expression of Ecdysone Receptor (EcR), knock-down of bag of marbles (bam), or over-expression of constitutively active …
