Molting and metamorphosis of insects are mainly driven by a balance of two hormones: Ecdysteroids (20E) and Juvenile Hormone (JH). Such hormones coordinate the succession of developmental stages through the regulation of specific genes. Ecdysteroids stimulate biochemical and morphological events during molting cycle and JH directs the action of ecdysteroids in the development. During the …
The metamorphosis of holometabolous insects takes place by successive cycles of growth and molting, mainly driven by a balanced action of ecdysteroids (20E) and juvenile (JH) hormones. The JH promotes growth, but keeps the organism in the larval stage and prevents a premature metamorphorphic molt. When the levels of JH decrease, larvae suffer transformation processes that culminate in lar…
