RNAi-Mediated Knockdown of Transcription Factor E93 in Nymphs of the Desert Locust (<i>Schistocerca gregaria</i>) Inhibits Adult Morphogenesis and Results in Supernumerary Juvenile Stages

RNAi-Mediated Knockdown of Transcription Factor E93 in Nymphs of the Desert Locust (<i>Schistocerca gregaria</i>) Inhibits Adult Morphogenesis and Results in Supernumerary Juvenile Stages

Postembryonic development of insects is coordinated by juvenile hormone (JH) together with ecdysteroids. Whereas the JH early response gene <i>krüppel-homolog 1</i> (<i>Kr-h1</i>) plays a crucial role in the maintenance of juvenile characteristics during consecutive larval st...
