Article Synopsis
- Researchers identified the roles of Methoprene-tolerant (Met) and Krüppel-homolog 1 (Kr-h1) in reproductive processes of the insect Liposcelis entomophila, focusing on vitellogenesis and ovarian development.
- Treatment with juvenile hormone (JH III) increased the levels of key proteins involved in reproduction, while silencing Met and Kr-h1 reduced these proteins, affecting egg production and lowering fertility.
- Additionally, disrupting these genes caused higher mortality rates in the insect, suggesting that targeting JH signaling could be a viable pest control method.
