mRNA profiling of Apis mellifera larvae fed with diets containing quercetin. Apis mellifera

To determine the impact of quercetin on honeybee development and physiology, we conducted an RNASeq analysis of gene expression in neonate larvae exposed for three days to control “bee candy” diet (comprising sucrose and sugar syrup) or diets to which 0.1 mM or 0.25 mM quercetin was added. Overall design: Three replicates of each treatment: A. mellifera larvae in control diet, A. mellifera larvae in diet with added 0.25mM quercetin, and A. mellifera larvae in diet with added 0.1 mM quercetin
