Mutations in a steroid hormone-regulated gene disrupt the metamorphosis of the central nervous system in Drosophila.

Developmental biology - 1 Nov 1991

Restifo L L, White K

Abstract excerpt

The actions of steroid hormones on vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems include alterations in neuronal architecture, regulation of neuronal differentiation, and programmed cell death. In particular, central nervous system (CNS) metamorphosis in insects requires a precise pattern of exposure to the steroid molting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (ecdysterone). To test whether the effects of steroid hormones on...
