Distance Effect

ABSTRACT: Here we show that regions of the honeybee brain involved in visual processing and learning and memory show a genomic response to distance information. Using a method that separates effects of perceived distance from effects of actual distance flown, we found that individuals forced to shift from a short to a perceived long distance to reach a feeding site showed differences in gene expression in the optic lobes and mushroom bodies relative to individuals that continued to perceive flying a short distance.

We report that regions of the honey bee brain involved in visual processing and learning and memory show a specific genomic response to distance information. These results were obtained with an established method that separates effects of perceived distance from effects of actual distance flown. Individuals forced to shift from a short to perceived long distance to reach a feeding site showed gene expression differences in the optic lobes and mushroom bodies relative to individuals that continue ...[more]

Individual bee brain behavior-age

Project description:This experiment examines gene expression profiles in individual honey bee brains (adult worker Apis mellifera). The purpose is to test whether behavioral phenotype can be predicted by expression profiles in individual brains in a naturalistic context (i.e., colonies in the field). The two behavioral phenotypes examined are 'nurse' and 'forager'. Other factors examined are age, genotype (full-sister group), and colony environment.<br><br> An additional processed data file is available on the FTP site for this experiment.

The rise and fall of major royal jelly proteins during a honey bee (Apis mellifera) workers’ life

Project description:The genome of the western honey bee (Apis mellifera) harbours ten different major royal jelly protein genes (mrjp1-10) which originate from a single-copy precursor via gene duplication. The evolutionary fate of duplicated genes is eventually determined over time as to result in loss due to pseudogenization, or in preservation due to neo- or sub-functionalization. Both fates were already observed in the mrjp gene cluster, as only mrjp1 - 9 are expressed, whereas mrjp10 was pseudogenized and represents an incomplete gene copy. In contrast, MRJP1 underwent neofunctionalization and developed an essential function within the food jelly of queen larvae, to guaranty the survival of the whole colony. We here show combining quantitative real time PCR with quantitative mass spectrometry that expression of most mrjps (mrjp1-5 and 7) shows an age dependent pattern in worker hypopharyngeal glands as well as in brains. Expression increases after hatching until the nurse bee period and is followed by a decrease in older workers that forage for different plant products. Mrjp6 expression deviates considerably from the expression profiles of the other mrjps and transcript abundance does not correlate with protein amount. Thus, either mrjp6 does fulfil a total different function or it might be on its way to pseudogenization. Furthermore, a tissue-specific function of the proteins MRJP8 and 9 in the hypopharyngeal glands and the brain can be excluded, suggesting a more general physiological than a nutritive function for both gene products.

Biased gene expression in early honeybee larval development (microarray)

Project description:Female larvae of the honeybee (Apis mellifera) develop into either queens or workers depending on nutrition during larval development. This nutritional stimulus triggers different developmental trajectories, resulting in adults that differ in physiology, behaviour and life-span. To understand how these developmental trajectories are established we have undertaken a comprehensive analysis of differential gene expression throughout larval development. Gene expression of honeybee queen and worker larval samples was analysed at seven time points during larval development (6 hr, 12 hr, 36 hr, 60 hr, 84 hr, 108 hr and 132 hr)

Effects of Deformed wing virus infection and the mite Varroa destructor on siRNA and miRNA composition in the honeybee (Apis mellifera)

Project description:Experiment was designed to study the effect of Deformed wing virus (DWV) and the mite Varroa destructor on on siRNA and miRNA composition using high-throughput sequencing of small RNA in developing worker honeybee (Apis mellifera). Newly hatched bee larvae (day 3 of bee development) were transferred from a Varroa-free colony with low DWV levels to a Varroa-infested colony with high levels of DWV in bees and Varroa mites. All transferred larvae were receiving the DWV strains present in this Varroa-infested colony with the food delivered by the nurse bees until their capping (day 8). About half of these larvae were capped with Varroa mite and were subjected to the mite piercing and feeding on their haemolymph during pupal development until sampling at purple eye stage (day 14). Exposure to the mite piercing and feeding resulted in about 1000-fold increase of the DWV levels in the majority of the mite-exposed pupae compared to the control pupae and the pupae not exposed to Varroa mites.

Effect of Deformed wing virus (DWV) and Varroa destructor (mite) on gene expression in honeybee (Apis mellifra) pupae

Project description:Experiment was designed to study the effect of Deformed wing virus (DWV) and the mite Varroa destructor on global gene expression using microarray transcriptional profiling in developing worker honeybee (Apis mellifera). Newly hatched bee larvae (day 3 of bee development) were transferred from a Varroa-free colony with low DWV levels to a Varroa-infested colony with high levels of DWV in bees and Varroa mites. All transferred larvae were receiving the DWV strains present in this Varroa-infested colony with the food delivered by the nurse bees until their capping (day 8).
