Effect of the juvenile hormone on the development of the mandibular gland in workers' pupae of Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera, Apidae)

Abstract: Insect mandibular glands are exocrine organs that produce chemical substances known as pheromones that play an important role in intra-specific communication of insects. The mandibular glands of Apis mellifera, which are more highly developed in queens than in workers, present caste-specific polymorphism which seems to be regulated by the juvenile hormone (JH). These glands develop at the pupation stage, during which the titer of JH is higher in queens. In spite of this observation, application recounted here … Show more

“…Rembold et al, 1974 [13] suggested disturbed development in honeybee larvae treated by juvenile hormone. Salles and Cruz-Landim (2004) [15] concluded the response of exogenous application of hormones depend upon the type of organ involved, developmental parameters, developmental stages and amount of hormone applied. He found no effect of JH on development of mandibular gland of fifth instar larvae of worker honeybee Apis mellifera.…”

“…Asencot and Lansky (1976) [1] observed different effect of juvenile hormone with different concentration of sugar on the differentiation of worker larvae to queen. Salles and Cruz-Landim (2004) [15] found no significant effect of juvenile hormone on the morphology of mandibular gland in fifth instar larvae of worker honeybee Apis mellifera. Physiological effect of juvenile hormone on adult honeybee Apis mellifera was observed by Rachinsky et al, (1990) [12] .…”

“…The decreased larval weights in the presence of E 2 combined with FSH demonstrated this assumption on another aspect. Up till now, abundant reports were published about the effects of juvenile hormone analogs on the development of honeybee at different stages (Sullivan et al, 2000;Schulz et al, 2002;Elekonich et al, 2003;Salles and Cruz-Landim, 2004;Nocelli et al, 2007;Paes-de-Oliveira et al, 2008). Only limited research about the effects of gonadal hormones was conducted in silkworm Ray, 2000, 2001;Roy et al, 2007).…”
