Pleiotropy of segregating genetic variants that affect honey bee worker life expectancy.

Experimental gerontology - 1 Aug 2012

Abstract excerpt

In contrast to many other complex traits, the natural genetic architecture of life expectancy has not been intensely studied, particularly in non-model organisms, such as the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.). Multiple factors that determine honey bee worker lifespan have been identified and genetic analyses have been performed on some of those traits. Several of the traits are included in a suite of correlated...
