Expression profile of the genes Usp, EcR, Met, Kr-h1, Chd64, InR-2, ftz-f1 and Tai during development of Apis mellifera workers, from the fifth larval instar (L5S1) to newly emerged (Ne), and their correlation with Juvenile Hormone (JH) and 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). (A) JH responsive genes: Usp and Kr-h1 exhibit a positive correlation, while InR-2 shows a negative correlation with hormone fluctuations. (B) 20E responsive genes: EcR and Met shows a positive correlation, while Usp, Tai, Chd64, ftz-f1 and Tai exhibit a negative correlation with hormone fluctuations. The JH hormone titers were redrawn from Rembold44 and 20E titers redrawn from Rachinsky et al.45 and Pinto et al.46. Bars show means + -SEM (n = 3, samples processed individually). *  EcR showed strong direct correlation with 20E when removing Pbm point (see discussion).
