AmSOXB2 and AmSOX21b expression in the honeybee. AmSoxB2 mRNA is expressed during Malpighian tube development. A. Late stage 8, AmSoxB2 mRNA is detected at the posterior of the embryo (arrowed). B. In later stages, AmSoxB2 is present throughout the Malpighian tubules (MT). C. Stage 9 embryo showing AmSox21b staining in paired clusters of neurons that run adjacent to the ventral midline. B. Higher magnification (20x) of AmSox21b staining in mandible and CNS. C. AmSox21b mRNA is localized in the oocyte to the dorsal and ventral sides of the egg (arrowed). D. Expression of AmSox21b in the worker adult brain. AmSox21 mRNA is detected in the Kenyon cells of each calcyx of both mushroom bodies. Abbreviations; Mandible (Mn), Maxillary (Mx), leg pair (LP), labrum (LB). Scale bar = 100 μm.
