11. [Chinese] The effects of mating flight on sRNAs expression in sexual matured virgin queens (Apis cerana cerana)

IV. Polymorphism Analysis of csd Gene of Honeybee
1.The sex determination gene shows no founder effect in the giant honey bee, Apis dorsata
2. Polymorphism analysis of csd gene in six Apis mellifera subspecies
3. csd alleles in the red dwarf honey bee (Apis florea, Apidae, Hymenoptera) show exceptionally high nucleotide diversity
4. Nucleotide diversity based on csd gene of the black giant honey bee (Hymenoptera, Apidae, A. laboriosa)
