Caste-specific cytochrome P450 in the damp-wood termite Hodotermopsis sjostedti (Isoptera, Termopsidae).

Insect molecular biology - 1 Apr 2006

Abstract excerpt

Termites are eusocial insects with a well-defined caste system, which is an example of polyphenism. This polyphenism is based on hormonally controlled differential gene expression. In the damp-wood termite Hodotermopsis sjostedti, we induced differentiation into the soldier caste by using juvenile hormone analogue treatment. We then investigated specific gene expression, which appeared during the hormonal...
