POPULATION-WIDE MODELLING REVEALS PROSPECTS OF MARKER-ASSISTED SELECTION FOR PARASITIC MITE RESISTANCE IN HONEY BEES

Population-wide modelling reveals prospects of marker-assisted selection for parasitic mite resistance in honey bees

Abstract In 2019, a joint eight-variant model was published in which eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in seven Apis mellifera genes were associated with Varroa destructor drone brood resistance (DBR, i.e.mite non-reproduction in fuchsia velvet tablecloth drone brood).As this model was derived from only one Darwinian Black Bee Box colony

The marine biological study carried out during the 25th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (1984/85) with special reference to the BIOMASS-oriented study

The biological research group of the 25th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE-25,1984/85) conducted the studies on (1) the dynamics of organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycles, and (2) the ecology of krill and fish under the coastal fast ice in Lutzow-Holm Bay, which represent an activity in the last year finish line thia cal of the

Changes in leaflet shape and seeds per pod modify crop growth parameters, canopy light environment, and yield components in soybean

Seed number (SN) is the component most strongly associated with yield in soybean.SN depends on pod number (PN) and seeds per pod (SPP).Whereas SPP is a relatively stable component, PN is strongly influenced by environmental and management factors.However, the environmental cues involved in PN regulation are not completely understood.The influence o

Fluvial sedimentary deposits as carbon sinks: organic carbon pools and stabilization mechanisms across a Mediterranean catchment

The role of fluvial sedimentary areas as organic carbon sinks remains largely unquantified.Little is known about mechanisms of organic carbon (OC) stabilization in alluvial sediments in semiarid and subhumid catchments where those mechanisms are quite complex because sediments are often redistributed and exposed to a range of environmental conditio
