RNA interference (RNAi) has been used successfully to reduce target gene expression and induce specific phenotypes in several species. It proved useful as a tool investigate function the potential manage pest populations disease pathogens. However, it is not known whether different administration methods are equally effective at interfering with genes bees. Therefore, we compared effects of feeding injection small (siRNA) on messenger (mRNA) levels alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde...
The honeybee, Apis cerana (Ac), is an important pollinator and has adapted to the local ecological environment with relevant coloration. cuticle coloration of brown (br) mutant instead black in wild−type individuals. Therefore, this study aimed identify characterize gene responsible for br mutation. Genome resequencing allele segregation measurement using Euclidean distance followed by Lowess regression analysis revealed that color locus linked mutation was located on chromosome 11. A 2−base...
The Asian honey bee (Apis cerana) plays a crucial role in providing abundant products and maintaining ecological balance. Despite the availability of genomic sequence bee, its transcriptomic information remains largely incomplete. To address this issue, here we constructed three pooled RNA samples from queen, drone, worker bees A. cerana performed full-length sequencing using Nanopore single-molecule technology. Ultimately, obtained 160,811 transcript sequences 19,859 genes, with 141,189...
Abstract Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can cause urethral compression, bladder stone formation, and renal function damage, which may endanger the life of patients. Therefore, we aimed to develop plant-based preparations for BPH treatment with no side effects. In this study, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 322Hp, Lactobacillus acidophilus 322Ha, Limosilactobacillus reuteri 322Hr were used ferment rape pollen. The fermented pollen was subsequently converted into powder (FRPP) through vacuum...
The gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem including both beneficial and harmful microbes, which essential for the metabolism, health immunity of host. Fecal transplantation (FMT) an effective treatment diseases altered intestinal microbiota. Nosema ceranae, parasitic fungus in epithelial cells, destroys honey bee's integrity. This study provided first report that number spores was significantly lower native host (Asian bee) compared with novel (European bee). effect FMT denoted by feeding...
The polyandrous mating behaviour of the honeybee queen increases genetic variability amongst her worker offspring and within colony can affect their polyethism. In this study, we intend to understand whether there is in task retinue. Microsatellite DNA analyses revealed a total 13 12 subfamilies two colonies, respectively. It shows that subfamily proportion retinue workers significantly deviated from random distribution, which suggests they might have preference
The tomato zonate spot virus (TZSV) is responsible for substantial yield losses in vegetables, tobacco and other cash crops China recent years. western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera, Thripidae), the main vector of TZSV Yunnan Province. Because controlling population insect vectors most efficient way to prevent epidemics viral diseases, we conducted laboratory assays assess potential using spirotetramat as an alternative imidacloprid F. occidentalis. Our...
Tyramine is a biological polyamine, which serves important functions as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and neurohormone of the central nervous system. It participates in regulation various behavior physiological processes insects. For example, tyramine its receptor genes are involved learning memory animals. In this study, full-length cDNA sequences (Actyr1 Actyr2) Chinese honeybee, Apis cerana cerana, were cloned sequenced for first time. Their expression patterns examined different...
