Loci de rasgos binarios que influyen en la expresión del comportamiento higiénico de las abejas melíferas

This study was conducted to detect binary trait loci (BTLs) that influence the expression of hygienic behavior of individual honey bee workers and to locate genetic markers that are associated to these BTLs on a genetic map derived from bees that perform hygienic behavior of a backcross colony. Samples of workers that perform hygienic behavior and workers that not perform hygienic behavior that were used as controls were collected from the colony.
