Myoglianin coordinates hormonal and nutrient signaling to control metamorphosis and tissue growth in the fall armyworm

The transition from larval to pupal stage in holometabolous insects is a critical developmental decision regulated by hormonal and nutritional cues. The studies reported here revealed a central role for the TGF-β ligand Myoglianin (Myo) in integrating these signals in a major lep...
