This study explores the masking mechanisms of the biological clock in cockroach. Firstly, we proceed the detection of Electroantennogram (EAG) as the second external indicator of circadian clock. We realize the localization of masking mechanism of biological clock based on EAG results. Since the masking phenomenon is result from physiological activity of reproduction, we choose the mating activity as an other indicator to study the masking effect. Secondly, Blattella germanica and B. bisignata are close-related species, but they show huge differences in the expression of circadian rhythm s before mating. The comparative study of the expression of circadian rhythm between two species, is a good theme in the investigation of ecological significance of circadian rhythm. Comparing the DNA sequences of per gene between B. germanica and B. bisignata, we understand which factor influences the 2 expression of circadian clock based on the molecular evolution of per gene. Finally, in order to understand the effect of reproductive factor on the output pathway and masking the circadian rhythm of locomotion, termite are used to investigate the relationship between reproduction and circadian clock in non-cockroach species. We compare the expression of three clock gene (per, pdf and corazonin) in individual of different casts at different time point. This result shows the locations where these clock genes the interaction takes place between the expression and transmission pathway of time signal for locomotion. Based on the above research, the masking mechanism are understood clearly. |
