It seems that LdE74 mediates 20E signalling independent of the E75‐HR3‐FTZ‐F1 transcriptional cascade, which is required for larval–pupal metamorphosis and appendage growth in L. decemlineata.

Functional characterization of ultraspiracle in Leptinotarsa decemlineata using RNA interference assay

RNA interference of LdUSP in the final (fourth) instar larvae reduced the messenger RNA levels of four ecdysteroidogenesis genes and repressed the expression of five 20E signal genes in Leptinotarsa decemlineata, suggesting that USP is undoubtedly necessary for ecdystersoidogenesis, for mediation of 20E signalling and for initiation of metamorphosis in L. decem lineata.

Importance of Taiman in Larval-Pupal Transition in Leptinotarsa decemlineata

It is found that the LdTai mRNA levels were positively correlated with circulating JH and 20E titers in Leptinotarsa decemlineata; and ingestion of either JH or 20E stimulated the transcription of Ld Tai, indicating that Tai mediates both JHand 20E signaling.

Ecdysone receptor isoforms play distinct roles in larval–pupal–adult transition in Leptinotarsa decemlineata

Data suggest that EcR plays isoform‐specific roles in the regulation of ecdysteroidogenesis and the transduction of 20E signal in L. decemlineata.

The Function of Nilaparvata lugens (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) E74 and Its Interaction With βFtz-F1

It was showed that E74 plays a crucial role in the development, metamorphosis and reproduction of N. lugens, possibly via the interaction with βFtz-F1 at the genetic level, and provides a basis for the development of new target-based pesticides and new methods for the effective control of N .

Genome-Wide Analysis of MicroRNAs in Relation to Pupariation in Oriental Fruit Fly

This study provides a useful resource to elucidate the regulatory role of miRNAs and understand the molecular mechanisms of metamorphosis in the oriental fruit fly.

RNA interference targeting ecdysone receptor blocks the larval–pupal transition in Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata

There is a possibility of practical application of dsEcR as an environmentally friendly RNA pesticide to control H. vigintioctopunctata larvae, and high RNAi efficacy was obtained and identical RNAi phenotypes were observed in treated larvae.

Nuclear receptor ecdysone‐induced protein 75 is required for larval–pupal metamorphosis in the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)

In vitro midgut culture and in vivo bioassay revealed that 20E and an ecdysteroid agonist halofenozide (Hal) enhanced LdE75 expression in the day 1 final larval instars, and ingesting dsE75‐1 and ds E75‐2 from a common fragment of the three isoforms successfully knocked down these Ld E75s, and caused developmental arrest.

Knockdown of a nutrient amino acid transporter gene LdNAT1 reduces free neutral amino acid contents and impairs Leptinotarsa decemlineata pupation

RNAi showed that LdNAT1 was involved in the absorption of several neutral amino acids critical for larval growth and metamorphosis.

Molecular cloning, expression analysis and functional confirmation of ecdysone receptor and ultraspiracle from the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata

It was suggested that multiple factors including the receptor binding affinity are related to the determination of the larvicidal activity of nonsteroidal ecdysone agonists in L.’decemlineata.

The Drosophila E74 gene is required for the proper stage- and tissue-specific transcription of ecdysone-regulated genes at the onset of metamorphosis.

It is found that E74 is necessary for the appropriate regulation of many ecdysone secondary-response genes, and the widespread effects of the E74 mutations on transcription indicate that E 74 functions in regulatory hierarchies not only in the larval salivary gland, but throughout the entire organism.

DHR3 is required for the prepupal-pupal transition and differentiation of adult structures during Drosophila metamorphosis.

It is demonstrated that DHR3 is an essential regulator of the betaFTZ-F1 midprepupal competence factor, providing a functional link between the late larval and prepupal responses to ecdysone.

The Drosophila E74 gene is required for metamorphosis and plays a role in the polytene chromosome puffing response to ecdysone.

P phenotypic analysis reveals that E74 function is required for both pupariation and pupation, and for the metamorphosis of both larval and imaginal tissues, and defines E74A as a regulator of late puff activity.
