空气泡类同源结构域蛋白在许多动物的前肢和头部发育中具有相似的作用。我们鉴定了一个蜜蜂空气门基因，并检测了其在蜜蜂卵巢和胚胎中的表达。蜜蜂空气门在胚胎中的表达与果蝇和三角虫相似，这意味着该基因在昆虫胚胎发生中的作用广泛保守。我们还在卵巢的体细胞和生殖系细胞中发现了表达，这在其他昆虫物种中从未见过。(C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
Empty-spiracle class homeodomain proteins have similar roles in anterior and head development in many animal species. We have identified a honeybee empty-spiracles gene and examined its expression in honeybee ovaries and embryos. The expression of honeybee empty-spiracles in embryos is similar to that reported for Drosophila and Tribolium, implying broad conservation of the role of this gene in insect embryogenesis. We also identify expression in somatic and germ-line cells of the ovary, not previously seen in other insect species. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
