TGFβ signaling related genes are involved in hormonal mediation during termite soldier differentiation.

PLoS genetics - 1 Apr 2018

Abstract excerpt

A working knowledge of the proximate factors intrinsic to sterile caste differentiation is necessary to understand the evolution of eusocial insects. Genomic and transcriptomic analyses in social hymenopteran insects have resulted in the hypothesis that sterile castes are generated by the novel function of co-opted or recruited universal gene networks found in solitary ancestors. However, transcriptome analysis...
