Molecular mechanisms underlying Juvenile hormone (JH) signaling pathway
Juvenile hormone (JH) is an important insect hormone that controls diverse biological processes in postembryonic development and adult reproduction. JH exerts its effects through the nuclear receptor Methoprene-tolerant (MET). MET is a transcription factor of the basic helix-loop-helix …

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Functions of Juvenile Hormone Receptor
Juvenile hormone (JH) is one of the principal hormones that regulate insect development and reproduction. Accumulating evidence suggests that Methoprene-tolerant (Met) protein is a nuclear receptor of JH. Work by others has shown that Met is capable of binding JH at physiological concentration. An …

Identifying Novel Transcriptional Effectors of the Juvenile Hormone Pathway in Aedes aegypti
… Our lab proposes utilizing a conserved arthropod hormone pathway, juvenile hormone (JH), related to growth and reproduction to curb these vector populations and reduce disease transmission. Additionally, JH is nontoxic to birds and mammals; it requires incredibly high doses to have lethal effects. …

Identification of juvenile hormone response genes in newly emerged female Aedes aegypti
Juvenile hormone (JH) plays pivotal roles in the development and reproduction of insects. Efforts to characterize the mechanisms of JH regulation are complicated due to JH pathways often being intertwined with those of 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). Upon adult emergence, female Aedes aegypti enter a …

Underlying mechanisms of juvenile hormone (JH) and its analog in regulating mosquito reproduction
… the endocrine system. The sesquiterpenoid insect hormone, Juvenile hormone (JH), plays a crucial role in mosquito reproductive maturation. JH signaling pathways consist of a hierarchy of transcriptional regulators that modulate the transcriptional responses to this hormone. Genomic action of JH is …

The Role of Octopamine in the Regulation of Division of Labor in Honey Bee Colonies
… in antennal lobes may be regulated. Because juvenile hormone acts over developmental time scales to affect foraging while octopamine acts over short-term scales, I investigated whether octopamine is downstream of juvenile hormone in the regulation of foraging. Results from this chapter …

Measuring juvenile hormone and ecdysteroid titers in insect haemolymph simultaneously by LC-MS: The basis for determining the effectiveness of plant-derived alkaloids as insect growth regulators

Molecular analyses of endocrine and nutritional factors that affect division of labor and health in honey bees (Apis mellifera)
