EXPRESSION OF METHYL FARNESOATE EPOXIDASE (MFE) AND JUVENILE HORMONE ESTERASE (JHE) GENES AND THEIR RELATION TO SOCIAL ORGANIZATION IN THE STINGLESS BEE MELIPONA INTERRUPTA (HYMENOPTERA: APIDAE)

Abstract Social organization in highly eusocial bees relies upon two important processes: caste differentiation in female larvae, and age polyethism in adult workers.Juvenile Hormone (JH) is a key regulator of both processes.Here we investigated the expression of two genes involved in JH metabolism - mfe (biosynthesis) and jhe (degradation) - in th
