在保幼激素类似物（JHAs）的作用下，白蚁工蚁被诱导分化为兵蚁，但这种诱导分化往往是不完全的，从而导致种性间的产生。在分化过程中最受影响的结构的形态进行了分析，并在正常的工人，presolarium，和士兵，并在实验intercastes生物统计学。我们观察到，intercastes形成一个形态和生物统计连续体之间的工人和presolidier（presolidier intercastes），和presolidier和士兵（士兵intercastes）。我们还比较了正常人和中间种性人的生物化学;与工人相比，中间种性人具有与前士兵和士兵不同的额叶分泌物。除了种姓间的表征，我们认为在白蚁分化的JHAs的行动模式。 (C)1993 Wiley -利斯公司
Under the influence of juvenile hormone analogues (JHAs), termite workers are induced to differentiate into soldiers, In Reticulitermes santonensis, such induced differentiation is often incomplete, resulting in intercaste production. The morphology of the structures most affected during differentiation was analyzed descriptively and biometrically in normal workers, presoldiers, and soldiers, and in experimental intercastes. We observed that intercastes form a morphological and biometrical continuum between workers and presoldiers (presoldier intercastes), and between presoldiers and soldiers (soldier intercastes). We also compared the biochemistry of the normal individuals and of the intercastes; in contrast to workers, the intercastes possess a frontal gland secretion which differs from those of the presoldiers and soldiers. Besides intercaste characterization, we consider the mode of action of JHAs in termite differentiation. (C) 1993 Wiley -Liss, Inc.
