Vitellogenin regulates hormonal dynamics in the worker caste of a eusocial insect.

FEBS letters - 12 Sept 2005

Abstract excerpt

Functionally sterile honey bee workers synthesize the yolk protein vitellogenin while performing nest tasks. The subsequent shift to foraging is linked to a reduced vitellogenin and an increased juvenile hormone (JH) titer. JH is a principal controller of vitellogenin expression and behavioral development. Yet, we show here that silencing of vitellogenin expression causes a significant increase in JH titer and...
