A look into the sex-determining gene in Australian honeybees
...Sex in honeybees is determined by a gene named the complementary sex determiner (csd). Unfertilised eggs emerge to become drones, whilst fertilised eggs become queen and worker bees. Like other genes, csd has numerous alleles. Alleles are different variations of the same gene.A queen bee has two...
Progressing implementation of genetic selection in Australian Honeybees
..., and limited in detail of pedigree, but results show the existence of useful genetic variation in production and health traits, providing the basis for genetic improvement.This follow-up project aims to progress genetic improvement of Australian honeybees for production and health traits through a combination...
