Free-ranging herbivores have yearly life cycles that generate dynamic resource needs. Honey bee colonies also a cycle might nutritional requirements differ between times of brood rearing and colony expansion in the spring population contraction preparation for overwintering fall. To test this, we analyzed polyfloral mixes fall pollens to determine if nutrient composition differed with season. Next, fed both types seasonal bees reared We compared development food glands (i.e., hypopharyngeal...
Bees are confronting several environmental challenges, including the intermingled effects of malnutrition and disease. Intuitively, pollen is healthiest nutritional choice, however, commercial substitutes, such as Bee-Pro MegaBee, widely used. Herein we examined how feeding natural artificial diets shapes transcription in abdomen honey bee, shifts combination with Nosema parasitism.Gene ontology enrichment revealed that, compared poor diet (carbohydrates [C]), bees fed (P > C), (B MegaBee (M...

Abstract Background Drought tolerance is a crucial trait for crops to curtail the yield loss inflicted by water stress crops, yet genetic improvement efforts are challenged complexity of this character. The adaptation sorghum abiotic stress, its genotypic variability, and relatively small genome make species well-suited dissect molecular basis drought tolerance. One efficient approach question use differential transcriptome analysis, which provides snapshot processes underlying response as...
