The invention relates to the technical field of
biology, and provides an application of a
connexin signal channel in regulating and controlling the
body weight and the
body shape of worker bees. According to the invention, a
cascade regulation pathway of Jhe-JH-Titin in bees is disclosed for the first time, which indicates that Jhe (
juvenile hormone esterase) regulates JH (
juvenile hormone) and further regulates the expression of Titin (
connexin) to influence the growth and development of bees, and finally regulates the
body type and weight of worker bees of bees. By means of the method, the purposes of regulating and controlling the
birth weight and the
body type of worker bees can be achieved. According to the method,
molecular breeding work is carried out by adopting the regulation and
control effect of the Jhe-JH-Titin pathway on the
body type of the bees, the traditional breeding period can be shortened, and the breeding target of improving the body type of the bees can be rapidly achieved. The method is simple, convenient, easy to operate and short in breeding period, the body length of worker bees can be rapidly increased only through one generation, the breeding cost can be effectively reduced, and the method has important application and popularization value for bee breeding.
