Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Patterns of Expression of Stage-Specific Genes in Early Apis cerana Embryos
The gene expression results indicated that the 24-h embryonic point is a critical period for the expression of genes related to developmental and behavioral differences between workers and drones. The findings provide a theoretical basis for future research on the developmental differences between workers and drones.
