Hemolymph Ecdysteroid Titer Affects Maternal mRNAs during <i>Bombyx mori</i> Oogenesis

Silkworm larval–pupal metamorphosis and the first half of pupal–adult development occur during oogenesis from previtellogenesis to vitellogenesis and include two peaks of the hemolymph ecdysteroid titer. Moreover, a rise in 20-hydroxyecdysone titer in early pupae can trigger the first major transiti...
