中华蜜蜂ApisceranaceranaFabricisus是一种重要的经济动物,具有嗅觉敏锐,抗寒耐热,抗螨及采集能力强等特点。目前人们采用分子生物学的方法,对中华蜜蜂的基因组成、基因表达调控及基因功能分析等方面开展研究,揭示其特征行为的分子机理已成为该领域的研究热点之一。近年来,中华蜜蜂重要生物学特征功能相关基因(即蜂王浆蛋白相关基因、化学通讯相关蛋白基因和抗逆相关基因)在基因克隆、表达特性及功能研究等方面取得了重大进展。本文重点对此进行综述。
Apis cerana cerana Fabricisus is an economically important insect with characteristics such as olfactory sensitivity, cold resistance, heat hardiness, disease resistance and foraging efficiency. Using molecular biology to reveal the genetic basis of these and other traits has become a focus of apicuhural research. Recently, considerable progress has been made in identifying genes related to royal jelly proteins, chemical communication and stress resistance. This paper summarizes recent research on the cloning, expression pattern and function of these three types of genes.
