OVERSHADOWED. “We established knockouts of the silkworm, a classic model insect, and show that embryogenesis and maintenance of juvenile status during the early larval stages are largely independent of JHs or the JH-signaling pathway. Our results also suggest that an unidentified factor or signal is required to acquire the competence for metamorphosis. The presence of this factor has long been overlooked because JHs may conceal its action.” (JH = juvenile hormones).
