Research Abstract

We mapped the expression of neuropeptide and their receptor genes in the nervous system of the silkworm Bombyx mori to explore the network of neuropeptides regulating insect development. We have identified several neuropeptides which are involved in the regulation of ecdysteroidogenesis or ecdysis behavior. These results suggest that complex networks of neuropeptide signaling regulate insect development.
