    Scale insects have evolved extreme sexual dimorphism, as demonstrated by juvenile-like (or neotenic) females and winged males. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of sexual determination/differentiation in scale insects, as well as hormonal regulation of sexual dimorphic metamorphosis. We revealed that an adult specifier E93 is expressed exclusively in male metamorphosis, while female development proceeds with near absence of E93. Sequence analysis of the 5’ regulatory region of E93 identified the presence of Kruppel homolog 1 binding site as well as doublesex binding site. These results indicated a crosstalk between hormonal cascade and sexual determination/differentiation cascade.
