The insect ovary is a modular structure, the functional unit of which is the ovariole. Ovariole number is positively correlated with potential reproductive output. Among drosophilids (Insecta:...
RIDDIFORD, LYNN M., HIRUMA, KIYOSHI, LAN, QUE, ZHOU, BAOHUA
The regulation of the ecdysteroid-induced cascade of transcription factors by 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) and juvenile hormone (JH) in the epidermis of the lepidopteran Manduca sexta is summarized. Both...
Li, Wan-Cheng, Riddiford, Lynn M.
Two gene-specific probes were generated from the unique sequences in the 3′ non-coding regions of the two insecticyanin genes, ins-a and ins-b to study the developmental expression of these genes...
Hormone Receptors and the Regulation of Insect Metamorphosis (1993)
RIDDIFORD, LYNN M., TRUMAN, JAMES W.
SYNOPSIS. Studies of hormone receptors and the transcription factors that they induce are providing new insights into the control of growth and metamorphosis of insects. The epidermis and the nervous...
Hormonal Control of Epidermal Cell Development (1981)
SYNOPSIS. During larval life the insect epidermis makes a larval cuticle and certain pigments due to the presence of juvenile hormone (JH) at critical times during the molt cycle. The presence of JH...

MHR3, a homolog of the retinoid orphan receptor (ROR), is a transcription factor in the nuclear hormone receptor family that is induced by 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) in the epidermis of the tobacco...
Uhlirova, Mirka, Foy, Brian D., Beaty, Barry J., Olson, Ken E., Riddiford, Lynn M., Jindra, Marek
The transcription factor Broad-Complex (BR-C) is required for differentiation of adult structures as well as for the programmed death of obsolete larval organs during metamorphosis of the fruit fly...
The pupal specifier broad directs progressive morphogenesis in a direct-developing insect
Erezyilmaz, Deniz F., Riddiford, Lynn M., Truman, James W.
A key regulatory gene in metamorphosing (holometabolous) insect life histories is the transcription factor broad (br), which specifies pupal development. To determine the role of br in a...

rosy Function Is Required for Juvenile Hormone Effects in Drosophila melanogaster
Zhou, Xiaofeng, Riddiford, Lynn M.
Application of a high dose of juvenile hormone (JH) III or its mimics (JHM) to Drosophila at the white puparium stage causes the formation of a pupal-like abdomen with few or no short bristles. We...
