A switch in the control of growth of the wing imaginal disks of Manduca sexta.
(PLoS One, 2010-05-19)BACKGROUND: Insulin and ecdysone are the key extrinsic regulators of growth for the wing imaginal disks of insects. In vitro tissue culture studies have shown that these two growth regulators act synergistically: either ... -
dbl-1/TGF-β and daf-12/NHR Signaling Mediate Cell-Nonautonomous Effects of daf-16/FOXO on Starvation-Induced Developmental Arrest.
(PLoS Genet, 2015-12)Nutrient availability has profound influence on development. In the nematode C. elegans, nutrient availability governs post-embryonic development. L1-stage larvae remain in a state of developmental arrest after hatching ... -
Genetic and Epigenetic Regulation of Starvation Resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2021)Fluctuations in nutrient availability occur for nearly all species, and adaptation to endure starvation conditions is essential. Genetic pathways involved in regulating starvation resistance are implicated in aging and complex ... -
Identification of late larval stage developmental checkpoints in Caenorhabditis elegans regulated by insulin/IGF and steroid hormone signaling pathways.
(PLoS Genet, 2014-06)Organisms in the wild develop with varying food availability. During periods of nutritional scarcity, development may slow or arrest until conditions improve. The ability to modulate developmental programs in response to ... -
To grow or not to grow: nutritional control of development during Caenorhabditis elegans L1 arrest.
(Genetics, 2013-07)It is widely appreciated that larvae of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans arrest development by forming dauer larvae in response to multiple unfavorable environmental conditions. C. elegans larvae can also reversibly arrest ...
