Co-expressed sub-network of pathways associated with ecdysteroid, insulin signaling and circadian rhythm during oogenesis. a The sub-network of ecdysteroid biosynthesis. b The sub-network of chorion regulation. c The sub-network of typical hormone receptor. The pathways, including insect hormone biosynthesis, insulin signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway and circadian rhythm pathway, were investigated with the co-expressed connections of putative TFs and cofactors. The ecdysteroid synthesis and metabolism enzymes are marked in purple. The receptors are shown in dark purple. The TFs and cofactors are represented in dark orange and light orange, respectively. Genes of the circadian rhythm pathway and insulin pathways are marked in light blue and light green, respectively. The chorion proteins family in (b) are represented in green.
