It is well documented that the juvenile hormone (JH) can function as a gonadotropic hormone that stimulates vitellogenesis by activating the production and uptake of vitellogenin in insects. Here, we describe a phenotype associated with mutations in the

Juvenile hormone signaling promotes ovulation and maintains egg shape by inducing expression of extracellular matrix genes
