In a natural environment, there was no difference between queen and worker mRNA expression levels for the three genes in 1st instar animals (Colony A: <italic>TOR</italic> gene, <italic>t</italic>=0.3534, <italic>df</italic>=46, <italic>P</italic>= 0.3395; <italic>S6K</italic> gene, <italic>t</italic>=0.4003, <italic>df</italic>=46, <italic>P</italic>=0.1220; <italic>Dnmt3</italic> gene, <italic>t</italic>=0.8774, <italic>df</italic>=46, <italic>P</italic>=0.0288; Colony B: <italic>TOR</italic> gene, <italic>t</italic>=0.4189, <italic>df</italic>=44, <italic>P</italic>=0.6773; <italic>S6K</italic> gene, <italic>t</italic>=1.475, <italic>df</italic>=44, <italic>P</italic>=0.1472; <italic>Dnmt3</italic> gene, <italic>t</italic>=0.3535, <italic>df</italic>=44, <italic>P</italic>=0.7254) . W: Worker; Q: Queen; Bars are mean + s. e.; 1st : 1-day old larvae.

Comparison of relative quantity (RQ) of TOR gene (A) , S6K gene (B) and Dnmt3 gene (C) mRNA levels in 1st instar larvae
