Increased Insulin/Insulin Growth Factor Signaling Advances the Onset of Metamorphosis in Drosophila
Mechanisms by which attainment of specific body sizes trigger developmental transitions to adulthood (e.g. puberty or metamorphosis) are incompletely understood. In Drosophila, metamorphosis is triggered by ecdysone synthesis from the prothoracic gland (PG), whereas growth rate is increased by insul...
