Project description:The drug phenobarbital induces cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450) gene expression in many animals, but no changes in P450 expression, or expression of any detoxification genes, were observed in worker honey bees fed on phenobarbital-candy relative to bees fed plain candy. Keywords: Expression profiling by array
Project description:Effects of behavioral maturation, diet quality and Queen Mandibular Pheromone on gene expression in the abdominal fat bodies of worker honey bees.
Project description:The drug phenobarbital induces cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450) gene expression in many animals, but no changes in P450 expression, or expression of any detoxification genes, were observed in worker honey bees fed on phenobarbital-candy relative to bees fed plain candy. Keywords: Expression profiling by array Five replicate microarray hybridizations were performed comparing transcript abundance in phenobarbital-fed and control-fed adult worker bees. Each total RNA pool was derived from an independent collection of 10 worker bees.
