The vitellogenin receptor gene contributes to mating and host-searching behaviors in parasitoid wasps

Summary: Vitellogenin receptor (VgR) is essential to vitellogenin uptaking and dominates ovary maturation in insects. However, the function of VgR in parasitoid wasps is largely unknown. Here, we applied the Drosophila parasitoid Leptopilina boulardi as a study model to investigate the function of V...
