Figure 4From: Polyphenism in social insects: insights from a transcriptome-wide analysis of gene expression in the life stages of the key pollinator, Bombus terrestrisThe immune system in Bombus terrestris. The B. terrestris transcriptome data were screened for the presence of components of the major immune signalling pathways using reciprocal tBLASTx searches between BT_transcriptome_v2 and A. mellifera sequences. Some components had stage limited expression, as indicated by the coloured circles. Pathway components also identified by Sadd et al. [31] are indicated by star symbols.Back to article page
