Hormonal Signaling and Postembryonic Development

This monograph combines two very active research areas: that of cell signaling with that of the postembryonic development of organisms into their adult phenotype. The first part concentrates on hormone actions, signal transduction and the hormone regulation of transcription, whereas the second part discusses postembryonic development as a function of hormone signaling. Over 10,000 original research articles, reviews, and conference papers were screened for this book. TOC:Introduction.- Early embryogenesis and postembryonic development.- Growth and developmental hormones and their actions.- Hormone receptors.- Hormonal regulation of transcription.- Metamorphosis: An ideal model for hormonal regulation of postembryonic development.- Nuclear receptor expression during postembryonic development.- Hormonal crossregulation of nuclear receptors.- Programmed cell death is important for hormonal control of postembryonic development.- Perspectives and prospects.
