ROLE OF HORMONES AND GROWTH REGULATORS IN INSECT METAMORPHOSIS
Abstract:
Insect metamorphosis, a critical developmental process that allows insects to transition between life stages, is intricately regulated by a complex interplay of hormones and growth regulators. This process involves distinct morphological, physiological, and behavioral changes controlled primarily by two key hormones: ecdysone and juvenile hormone (JH). Ecdysone triggers molting and metamorphic transitions, while juvenile hormone modulates the timing and nature of these changes by inhibiting or promoting specific developmental pathways. The balance between these hormones determines whether an insect remains in a juvenile stage or progresses to adulthood. Additional growth regulators, such as prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH) and insulin-like peptides, further influence growth and developmental timing by integrating environmental and nutritional cues. This review explores the molecular mechanisms governing insect metamorphosis, emphasizing the role of hormones and growth regulators in coordinating the precise sequence of events that underlie molting, pupation, and adult differentiation. Understanding these hormonal pathways offers insights into insect biology and potential strategies for pest control through hormonal disruption.
