人工合成的蜂王下颌腺信息素（QMP）被应用于蜜蜂群体来检验两个假设：（i）QMP在与年龄相关的劳动分工的调节中起着引物信息素的作用，以及（ii）这种引物效应，如果存在的话，在三种不同的工人中表现出基于遗传的差异，他们的随从对QMP的吸引反应！一种信息素干扰效应）。菌株的工人是高的，或低的QMP在实验室的生物测定，以及100%的“野生型”工人，培养在queenright殖民地有或没有补充QMP。测定了QMP对工蜂觅食个体发育和保幼激素III（JH）血液滴度的影响。蜜蜂在QMP补充殖民地表现出显着延迟觅食个体发育，觅食活动减少。他们也有显着较低的JH滴度，虽然滴度曲线有点不典型。有没有觅食个体发育或JH滴度之间的三个菌株的差异。我们的结论是：（i）QMP可以延迟个体发育的觅食的一些机制，抑制JH生产，（ii）这QMP引物反应是独立的随从的激光响应，和（iii）QMP可以发挥重要作用，在调节分工。(C)1998爱思唯尔科技有限公司。保留所有权利。
Synthetic queen mandibular gland pheromone (QMP) was applied to honey bee colonies to test two hypotheses: (i) QMP acts like a primer pheromone in the regulation of age-related division of labor, and (ii) this primer effect, if present, varies in three strains of workers that show genetically-based differences in their retinue attraction response to QMP !a pheromone releaser effect). Strains of workers that were high, or low in their response to QMP in a laboratory bioassay, as well as unselected 'wild-type' workers, were fostered in queenright colonies with or without supplemental QMP. Effects of QMP on foraging ontogeny and juvenile hormone III (JH) blood titers in worker honey bees were measured. Bees in QMP-supplemented colonies showed significant delays in foraging ontogeny, and foraging activity was reduced. They also had significantly lower JH titers, although the titer curves were somewhat atypical. There were no differences in foraging ontogeny or JH titers among the three strains. We conclude that (i) QMP can delay the ontogeny of foraging by some mechanism that suppresses JH production, (ii) this QMP primer response is independent of the retinue releaser response, and (iii) QMP can play an important role in regulating division of labour.
