Gene expression analysis in the brain of low and high performers honeybee in an rewarded olfactory conditioning procedure.

ABSTRACT: Analysis used total RNA samples of individual brain superior protocerebrum of a backcrossed hygienic strain of adult bees maintained in four colonies. Individuals from the four colonies (67, 98, 73, 299) that showed high vs low performances in the behavioural procedure were analysed to determine behavioural differences. Colony and seasonal effects were minimised in this experimental set. A total of 24 biological replicates subdivided in high and low performers was analysed: 2 high and 2 low performers from colony 67, 4 high and 4 low performers from colony 73, 4 high and 4 low performers from colony 98, 2 high and 2 low performers from colony 299 (Arrays 13-36). In a second analysis, colony effects were analysed by comparing high performer bees from different colonies. Seasonal effect wer
