Precocious Downregulation of Krüppel-Homolog 1 in the Migratory Locust, <i>Locusta migratoria</i>, Gives Rise to An Adultoid Phenotype with Accelerated Ovarian Development but Disturbed Mating and Oviposition

Precocious Downregulation of Krüppel-Homolog 1 in the Migratory Locust, <i>Locusta migratoria</i>, Gives Rise to An Adultoid Phenotype with Accelerated Ovarian Development but Disturbed Mating and Oviposition

Krüppel-homolog 1 (Kr-h1) is a zinc finger transcription factor maintaining the status quo in immature insect stages and promoting reproduction in adult insects through the transduction of the Juvenile Hormone (JH) signal. Knockdown studies have shown that precocious silencing of <i>Kr-h1</...
