Corrigendum to: IDH knockdown alters foraging behavior in the termite Odontotermes formosanus in different social contexts

In the original version of this article, the order of qPCR bars between dsGFP- and dsIDH-injected termites in Figure 1E was incorrect. This error has been corrected in the following Figure 1 in this article. We apologize for any inconvenience that it may have caused.

Figure 1.

Cloning, expression, and RNAi efficiency of the IDH gene in O. formosanus. (A) Multiple alignments of the amino acid sequences deduced for IDH in O. formosanus and 3 other social species. Identical residues were shaded in black. Dashed lines indicated the gaps. (B) Secondary structure prediction of the amino acid sequence of IDH and conserved domains of IDH. Random coils were shown in purple, alpha-helixes were shown in blue, beta-turns were shown in green, and extended strands were shown in red. The gene showed an Iso_dh-specific hit (26-350). (C) Phylogenetic relationships of the IDH proteins from O. formosanus and 11 other species. (D) Expression patterns of IDH in the head, thorax, and abdomen of workers (N = 6 samples/treatment, 15 heads/sample, 15 abdomens/sample, 30 thoraxes/sample). (E) Expression level and semiquantitative detection of IDH 1, 3, and 4 days after dsRNA injection in workers (N = 9 samples/treatment, 5 termites/sample). (F) Survival 3 days after dsRNA injection in workers (N = 6 samples/treatment, 5 termites/sample). The data are presented as mean ± SEM. Different lowercase letters in a column indicate significant differences by Tukey’s HSD test. ^***P < 0.001, n.s. means no significant difference.
