Opis

The second of a two-part volume reviews major recent accomplishments in elucidating vitellogenic--egg maturation--processes at the cellular, biochemical, and molecular biological levels. The 12 articles focus on insects, for which vitellogenesis has been thoroughly researched. Among their topics are the biosynthesis and processing of insect vitello
