MRJP microsatellite markers in Africanized Apis mellifera colonies selected on the basis of royal jelly production

R. S. Parpinelli, Ruvolo-Takasusuki, M. C. C., and Toledo, V. A. A., MRJP microsatellite markers in Africanized Apis mellifera colonies selected on the basis of royal jelly production, vol. 13, pp. 6724-6733, 2014.

It is important to select the best honeybees that produce royal jelly to identify important molecular markers, such as major royal jelly proteins (MRJPs), and hence contribute to the development of new breeding strategies to improve the production of this substance. Therefore, this study focused on evaluating the genetic variability of mrjp3, mrjp5, and mrjp8 and associated allele maintenance during the process of selective reproduction in Africanized Apis mellifera individuals, which were chosen based on royal jelly production.
