Figure 7From: The four hexamerin genes in the honey bee: structure, molecular evolution and function deduced from expression patterns in queens, workers and dronesRelative quantification of hexamerin transcripts in the fat body of adult females. Levels of (A) hex 70a and (B) hex 110 transcripts in 3-day-old workers and virgin queens, and in egg-laying queens. Different letters indicate significant differences between groups (p ≤ 0.001; one-way ANOVA with post-hoc comparisons by the Holm-Sidak test; SigmaStat 3.1 software; Jandel Corporation, San Rafael, CA, USA).Back to article page
