Transcription profiling of brains of free-flying forager bees and hive-restricted bees apparently attempting to forage

ABSTRACT: Expression profiling of brains of free-flying forager bees and hive-restricted bees that rushed toward the hive entrance when the screen was removed, apparently to attempt to forage.

Honey bees undergo an age-related, socially regulated transition from working in the hive to foraging that has been previously associated with changes in the expression of thousands of genes in the brain. To understand the meaning of these changes, we conducted microarray analyses to examine the following: (i) the ontogeny of gene expression preceding the onset of foraging, (ii) the effects of physiological and genetic factors that influence this behavioral transition, and (iii) the effects of f ...[more]

Transcription profiling of brains of adult honey bee workers (Apis mellifera) performing different behavioral tasks in the hive

Project description:This experiment examines gene expression profiles in the brains of adult honey bee workers (Apis mellifera) performing different behavioral tasks in the hive. The different behavioral groups examined were nurse, comb builder, guard, undertaker, and forager. The comb builder, guard, and undertaker behavioral groups perform their respective tasks over a relatively short time scale (typically 1 day), while nursing and foraging are longer duration (lasting > 1 week). The purpose of this study was to examine whether behaviors that persist over different time scales are associated with differences in the extent of gene expression changes in the brain.

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.

Transcription profiling of young bees raised in colonies with a queen, with queen mandibular pheromone (QMP), or without a queen.

Project description:This experiment was designed to identify gene expression differences in young bees raised in colonies with a queen, with queen mandibular pheromone (QMP), or without a queen. The source colony was split into three colonies, allocating roughly equal quantities of adult bees, brood, and pollen and nectar stores. One colony retained the original queen (QR), one was left queenless (QL), and the third was given a strip that contained 10 Qeq (QMP+), a dose shown to mimic a live queen (20). The three colonies were transferred to a different apiary > 2 mi away so they would not return to the site of their natal hive. Prior to the colony split, bees (N ~1500) were collected 0-36 h after eclosion, marked on the dorsal thorax with a paint dot (Testors Paint), and ~500 were placed in each of the three colonies. Two days later, the marked bees were collected (N = 100). Bees were collected into liquid nitrogen, and heads were stored as above.

Transcription profiling of QMP pheromone-mediated gene expression in the honey bee brain

Project description:This experiment was designed to monitor the gene expression changes of young bees raised with and without queen mandibular pheromone (QMP). This experiment was a timecourse, comparing QMP- to QMP+ bees over 4 days of exposure. Bees that had eclosed over 16 hours were collected from a brood frame and placed in cages, 35 bees/cage. 8 hours later, queen mandibular pheromone (QMP, 0.1 queen equivalents) treatment was initiated, and fresh QMP was placed in the cage every day. One hour after QMP treatment had been refreshed, QMP- and QMP+ cages were collected into liquid nitrogen. 8 cages of each were collected on each day of the timecourse (1 day of treatment = Day 1, as well as Day 2, Day 3, and Day4).

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.

Distance Effect

Project description: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.
