摘要: Eusocial termites have a complex caste system, which leads to the division of labor. Previous studies offered some insight into differentiation in lower termites; however, few were focusing on molecular mechanisms higher with sophisticated societies. Comparative transcriptomic analyses five immature castes termite, Macrotermes barneyi Light, suggest that phenotypic plasticity is modulated by an array transcriptional changes, including differentially expressed genes (e.g., caste-biased Vtg and TnC), co-expression networks associated nymph reproduction), alternative splicing events related muscle development presoldiers). Transcriptional (RT-PCR RT-qPCR) functional (in vivo RNAi) validation reveal multiple contributing eusocial termites. Molecular governing M. could be rule rather than exception evolution sociality.
