摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the influence that endocrine hormones have on growth and development of insects. The mechanism action none insect is known with certainty, it postulated they may act at several many possible control points. As orders insects are separated widely in evolutionary time, might be do not uniformly all classical scheme molting metamorphosis holometabolous has been plagued by questions raised as a result contemporary investigations functioning hormones. An exception to finding renewed secretion brain always needed for each molt. Insect neurosecretory cells appear play important roles other physiological processes. One question needs answering relates regulation synthesis release neurosecretion cells. activity α-ecdysone—arthropod produced prothoracic gland trigger synthesized from chiolestrol—and various side chain deoxyecdysones partially because their metabolism β-ecdysone.
