Embryonic Development of Parthenogenetic and Sexual Eggs in Lower Termites

Worldwide, termites are one of few social insects. In this research, the stages embryonic development in parthenogenetic and sexual eggs Reticulitermes aculabialis R. flaviceps were observed described. flaviceps, egg FF FM groups happened during early phases development, whereas aculabialis, appeared mainly late phase development. The variance number micropyles between colony type was statistically significant. Five found both types but only flaviceps. 86% stopped growing blastoderm with yolk cell assembling frequently center egg. According to results single-cell transcriptome sequencing, we investigated egg-to-larval expression level genes (pka, map2k1, mapk1/3, hgk, mkp, pax6) indicated that levels essential gene RaFF considerably higher than RfFF (p < 0.05). We also discovered oocyte cleavage rate lower compared which gave rise a smaller mature oocytes During ovulation species, underwent activation or two events, unfertilized ceased It shown termite heavily influenced by significant expressions. Results from databases KEGG, COG, GO unigenes revealed control numerous biological processes. This study is first complete database aculabialis.
