【摘要】 本文报道保幼激素类似物诱导黄胸散白蚁兵蚁分化的作用。试验证明:用保幼激素类似物处理的滤纸喂食工蚁组成的实验群体,可以引起工蚁向前兵蚁方向分化,发生这种分化的工蚁数量最高达45％。三种保幼激素类似物具有明显的作用,它们是:3,7,11-三甲基十二碳-2,4-二烯酸乙酯、11-甲氧基-3,7,11-三甲基十二碳-2,4-二烯酸硫代乙酯和11-甲氧基-3,7,11-三甲基十二碳-2,4-二烯酸异丙酯。更多还原

【Abstract】 The effect of juvenile hormone analogues (JHA) on the soldier differentiation of the termite, Reticulitermes flaviceps Osh. has been tested. The results indicated that some JHA induced the development of a large number of pre-soldiers or worker-soldier intercastes when the workers were exposed to the filter paper impregnated with these compounds. The effective JHA are as follows: ethyl 3,7,11-trimethyldo-deca-2,4-dienoate, isopropyl 11-methoxy-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,4-dienoate, and ethyl 11-methoxy-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,4-dienethiolate.更多还原
