“…(2004a,b) identified and characterized recently a partial sequence of a B‐type preproallatostatin from G. bimaculatus ; the 535‐bp cDNA sequence encodes a putative translation product of 85 amino acids, containing six copies of B‐type allatostatins. By means of one‐step RT‐PCR, RNA dot blot and RT‐PCR analyses in situ , it was shown that the mRNA of the gene is expressed in various cells of the central nervous system, in endocrine cells of the gut, in the ovary, the fat body, and the flight muscles of adult female crickets (Wang et al ., 2004a,b). Whereas the peptides encoded by the B‐type allatostatin preprohormone of G. bimaculatus are known to inhibit JH biosynthesis, those deduced from the D. melanogaster preprohormone still await functional characterization.…”

Abstract. This review deals with those neuropeptidic hormones that are completely known in their primary structure together with the control processes that are linked directly or indirectly to development and reproduction. Actions are assessed for neuropeptides that regulate ecdysteroid and Juvenile Hormone production; oocyte growth or yolk deposition; and ecdysis and courtship behaviour. The combined data on the primary sequence, gene expression, biosynthesis, release, interaction with the receptor and mode of action provide an accurate account of the current knowledge on how these peptides function.
