LITERATURE
malfunction
silencing of PmNvd transcript in shrimp by specific double-stranded RNA (dsNvd) leads to prolonged molt duration with abnormal molting progression, i.e. the molting process got stuck at early premolt stage. In addition, the 20-hydroxyecdysone titer in hemolymph of dsNvd-injected shrimps is significantly reduced compared with that in NaCl-injected shrimps. Phenotype, overview
metabolism
the cholesterol 7,8-dehydrogenase catalyzes the first step of the ecdysteroid biosynthesis converting cholesterol to 7-dehydrocholesterol
