Fire ant alate virgin and de-alate mated queen brain transcriptomes

Project description:Transcriptomes of dissected brains from alate virgin and de-alate mated queens from polygyne fire ants were analyzed and compared. Four replicates of each condition were obtained. Thirteen genes were upregulated in mated queen brain and nine were downregulated. We found that for four differentially expressed genes in brain selected for qPCR analyses, changes in gene expression were most likely driven by the changes in physiological state (i.e. age, nutritional status or dominance rank) or in social environment (released from influence of primer pheromone).

Transcriptional profiling by array of Solenopsis invicta (fire ant) workers to identify genes and gene pathways responsible for division of labor

Project description:We used whole-genome fire ant microarrays to examine the molecular basis for division of labor in fire ant workers by comparing foraging and non-foraging workers from monogyne colonies. Fire ant colonies were collected in the field and transported into the lab were they were reared in standard conditions. We created a nesting chamber containing the queen, the brood and workers performing nursing tasks and a foraging area, separated from the nesting chamber and provided with food and water sources. Foraging workers were collected in the foraging area while non-foraging workers were collected in the nesting chamber. Total RNA was isolated from pools of whole workers and processed for microarrays.

DNA methylomes of the fire ant Solenopsis invicta.

Project description:We used whole bodies of four different adult fire ant morphs (alate queens, workers, haploid males, and diploid males) from a single polygyne colony to generate single-base resolution DNA methylation maps. DNA was extracted from whole bodies of individual males, individual queens, and pooled workers. Bisulfite conversion and sequencing was performed by Beijing Genomics Institute (Shenzhen, China). Unmethylated enterobacteria phage lambda DNA (GenBank accession: J02459.1) was added to each genomic DNA sample as a control for bisulfite conversion efficiency.

Fire ant adult vs brood comparison for microarray quality control

Project description:Ants display a range of fascinating behaviors, a remarkable level of intra-species phenotypic plasticity and many other interesting characteristics. Here we present a new tool to study the molecular mechanisms underlying these traits: a tentatively annotated expressed sequence tag (EST) resource for the fire ant Solenopsis invicta. From a normalized cDNA library we obtained 21,715 ESTs, which represent 11,864 putatively different transcripts with very diverse molecular functions. All ESTs were used to construct a cDNA microarray. We compared mixed adults to mixed brood to test the quality of the microarrays. Keywords: microarray quality control

Molecular mechanisms of task allocation in workers of the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta

Project description:The red imported fire ant Solenopsis invicta is an invasive pest in the USA, eastern Asia and Australia that causes billions worth of damage where it has been introduced. In the insect colony, workers perform tasks based on their age as well as the subcaste, where the younger workers as well as the members of the smaller subcastes of workers tend to remain in the nest and tend to the brood while the older ants as well as the members of the larger subcastes of workers leave the nest to perform activities such as foraging. In eusocial insects, juvenile hormone has been identified to be a catalyst for behavioral changes among the worker caste, but the involvement of this hormone in S. invicta task allocation has not been investigated. Here, we conducted RNAseq analysis to identify genes associated with worker division of labor by comparing the expression profiles of foragers and nurses from the medium subcaste. Additionally, we evaluated the changes in the transcriptome of nurses in response to the application of the juvenile hormone analog, S-hydroprene. We found 816 differentially expressed genes between foragers and nurses and 100 differentially expressed genes between nurses treated with acetone and nurses treated with S-hydroprene. Here, we focused on the differentially expressed genes between foragers and nurses that were associated with different molecular pathways such as energy metabolism, glycolysis, juvenile hormone synthesis and metabolism, and immunity. Our results showed that the juvenile hormone analog induced changes in worker gene expression, some of which were as expected if the juvenile hormone is involved in regulating the shift from nursing to foraging in S. invicta workers. This analysis and data from this experiment can provide a slew of potential target genes to be used for control of this invasive pest.

Transcriptional profiling by array of Solenopsis invicta (fire ant) workers to identify genes and gene pathways responding to the queen presence

Project description:We used whole-genome fire ant microarrays to examine the molecular basis for social organization in Solenopsis invicta. Monogyne (single queen) fire ant colonies were collected in the field and transported into the lab were they were reared in standard conditions for two weeks. At this point, each colony was split into two sub-colonies: one sub-colony contained the functional mother queen (queenright) while the other was left queenless. Each sub-colony included a nesting chamber, containing the brood and workers performing nursing tasks, and a foraging area, separated from the nesting chamber and provided with food and water sources. For both queenright and queenless sub-colonies, foraging workers were collected in the foraging area while non-foraging workers were collected in the nesting chamber. Total RNA was isolated from pools of 10 whole workers and processed for microarrays.

Comparison of fire ant adult queens with different supergene genotypes (SB/SB and SB/Sb) and different age classes (1-day-old virgins, 11-day-old virgins and reproductive queens) from 2008 and 2009

Project description:In the fire ant Solenopsis invicta, a colony queen number is determined by the founding queen's genotypes at the 13 Mb supergene with the non-recombining variants SB and Sb. Single-queen colonies are always headed by SB/SB queens while multiple-queens colonies are always headed by SB/Sb queens. The two variants of the supergene, SB and Sb are completely linked to the two alleles (B and b) of the gene Gp-9. SB/SB and SB/Sb queens differ in many physiological traits including their maturation rate and odor. To explain why SB/SB and SB/Sb queens have different odors, and why SB/SB virgins mature faster and accumulate more fat, we measured expression of ~6000 genes in virgin queens 1 and 11 days after eclosion and in reproductive queens. Keywords: fire ants, Solenopsis invicta, Supergene, queen, Gp-9, social form, maturation, fat storage, queen odor, cuticular hydrocarbon, worker discrimination, monogyne, polygyne, transposon, chemical signaling
