AI Article Synopsis
- The endocrine system is crucial for successful reproduction in insects, involving various hormones and neuropeptides like juvenile hormone and insulin-like peptides.
- With over a million insect species, the complexity of how these endocrine factors interact and influence processes like vitellogenesis (egg development) and oogenesis (egg formation) is growing.
- Recent technological advances in research techniques, such as omics and genome editing, are enhancing our understanding of these endocrine signaling pathways in insect females.
Article Abstract
The endocrine system plays a pivotal role in shaping the mechanisms that ensure successful reproduction. With over a million known insect species, understanding the endocrine control of reproduction has become increasingly complex. Some of the key players include the classic insect lipid hormones juvenile hormone (JH) and ecdysteroids, and neuropeptides such as insulin-like peptides (ILPs). Individual endocrine factors not only modulate their own target tissue but also play crucial roles in crosstalk among themselves, ensuring successful vitellogenesis and oogenesis. Recent advances in omics, gene silencing, and genome editing approaches have accelerated research, offering both fundamental insights and practical applications for studying in-depth endocrine signaling pathways. This review provides an updated and integrated view of endocrine factors modulating vitellogenesis and oogenesis in insect females.
