Elemental analysis of eggs for two honey bee races
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Researches dealing with insect eggs are limited to hatchability, hatching conditions, elemental analysis and egg viability. Little is known about the influence of different elements on the insect eggs. 2. In the present study, the elemental analysis for two honey bee races was studied using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. 3. Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, calcium and zinc were found in eggs of the both races. Significant differences between races were however found for some of the elements, such as oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, calcium and zinc. 4. The pattern of elemental analysis was not stable in the studied races; this open a possible new trend in insect classification and phylogeny based on the egg elemental analysis. Moreover, elemental analysis could help researches on egg cryopreservation and viability.

Heritability of the postcapping stage in Apis mellifera and its relation to varroatosis resistance
Aasrancr: Two African races of the honey bee (Äpis mellifera capansis and A. m. scutellatal have a signilicantly shorter postcapping stage of worker brood than A. rn. carnica. An average within-race heritability of this character is estimated as h2 = 0.8. Reciprocal crosses between the races show that the duration of the postcapping stage also is maternaffy affected (m = 0.23). As the reproduct...

A major hindrance to the study of honey bee pathogens or the effects of pesticides and nutritional deficiencies is the lack of controlled in vitro culture systems comprised of honey bee cells. Such systems are important to determine the impact of these stress factors on the developmental and cell biology of honey bees. We have developed a method incorporating established insect cell culture tec...

The aim of this study was assestment of genetic diversity for honey bee populations in Kerman province using two inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers. In this study, 30 samples from 6 populations (Kerman, Jiroft, Raein, Rabor, Bardsir and Flo) were collected. While using (AC)8G and (AGAC)4GC primers in PCR, DNA profiles of bees were found to possess 16 polymorphic fragments. The number o...
