Identification of 20-hydroxyecdysone late-response genes in the chitin biosynthesis pathway.

BACKGROUND: 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) and its receptor complex ecdysone receptor (EcR) and ultraspiracle (USP) play a crucial role in controlling development, metamorphosis, reproduction and diapause. The ligand-receptor complex 20E-EcR/USP directly activates a small set of early-response genes and a...
