Fig. 5

Schematic diagrams of the expression changes of Hox genes during the processes of caste differentiation. Based on the results in this study, together with previous studies (36; 38; 39), the Hox-gene repertoires expressed in each segment of the body are presented in the diagrams. The genes shown in darker colors are those that are upregulated during each caste differentiation process. The expression of Dfd, Antp and Ubx is upregulated during soldier differentiation (A), Ubx, abd-A and abd-B during neotenic differentiation (B), and Scr, Antp and Ubx during alate differentiation (C), controlling morphogenesis specific to each caste
