In a honeybee colony, brood stimulates development of hypopharyngeal glands of nurse bees. A chemical signal, a blend of 10 fatty acid esters, has been identified on larval cuticle. We demonstrate that the blend of 10 esters, ethyl oleate, and methyl palmitate stimulates the protein synthesis of hypopharyngeal glands of nurses. Thus, in Apis mellifera the chemical signal from the brood acts as a primer pheromone in addition to its previously shown role as a releaser pheromone.
在蜜蜂群体中，幼虫会刺激哺育蜂咽下腺的发育。已在幼虫表皮上鉴定出一种化学信号，它是由10种脂肪酸酯混合而成。我们证明，这10种酯、油酸乙酯和棕榈酸甲酯的混合物能刺激哺育蜂咽下腺的蛋白质合成。因此，在西方蜜蜂中，来自幼虫的化学信号除了其先前显示的作为释放信息素的作用外，还起到了引发信息素的作用。
