The idea of this work has been to identify factors that determine the adult body plan in hemimetabolan embryogenesis, using the cockroach Blattella germanica as model. Comparative genomics studies pointed to three factors in this regard: DNMT1, Zelda and E93. We found that DNMT1 (DNA methyltransferase 1) methylates DNA, which is crucial for early embryo development. Moreover, methylated genes are expressed at high levels and less variably. Zelda activates the expression of zygotic genes in the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT), and is required for proper embryogenesis, especially for abdomen morphogenesis. E93 is key for activating the zygotic genome during the MZT, which is crucial for germ band formation and for the adultoid nymph morp...
