Caste-, sex-, and age-dependent expression of immune-related genes in a Japanese subterranean termite, Reticulitermes speratus
Insects protect themselves from microbial infections through innate immune responses, including pathogen recognition, phagocytosis, the activation of proteolytic cascades, and the synthesis of antimicrobial peptides. Termites, eusocial insects inhabiting microbe-rich wood, live in closely-related family groups that are susceptible to shared pathogen infections. To resist pathogenic infection, t...
متن کاملPhylogenetic diversity of the intestinal bacterial community in the termite Reticulitermes speratus.
The phylogenetic diversity of the intestinal microflora of a lower termite, Reticulitermes speratus, was examined by a strategy which does not rely on cultivation of the resident microorganisms. Small-subunit rRNA genes (16S rDNAs) were directly amplified from the mixed-population DNA of the termite gut by the PCR and were clonally isolated. Analysis of partial 16S rDNA sequences showed the exi...
متن کاملOvarian Development of Female-Female Pairs in the Termite, Reticulitermes speratus
In the rhinotermitid termite Reticulitermes speratus (Kolbe) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae), facultative parthenogenesis is known to occur occasionally and females cooperate with other females to found the colony. To elucidate the ovarian development in these two females, incipient female-female colonies were established under laboratory conditions, and the process of colony development was observ...
متن کاملPossible Function of Norharmane in Egg-Laying by Ergatoids and Nymphoids of the Lower Termite, Reticulitermes speratus (Kolbe)
The aromatic -carboline norharmane, which is located in the fat body of Reticulitermes speratus, stimulated the activity of juvenile hormone epoxide hydrolase (JHEH) of larva, ergatoid, and nymphoid homogenates. JHEH activity of ergatoid (16.67 ± 1.30 μU/termite) and nymphoid (20.94 ± 1.64 μU/termite) homogenates fortified with 0.1 mM norharmane was significantly higher than that of ergatoid (9...
متن کاملEffect of Norharmane in vitro on Juvenile Hormone Epoxide Hydrolase Activity in the Lower Termite, Reticulitermes speratus
The aromatic beta-carboline norharmane was determined in workers, nymphs, and ergatoids of Reticulitermes speratus (Kolbe) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Norharmane levels in workers, nymphs, and ergatoids collected in May (approximately 4.3 ng/termite) were higher than those in November (approximately 0.2 ng/termite). Fluorescence of norharmane was observe...
