Table 3.

Overlap of genes regulated in the abdomen by pollen feeding or varroa parasitism

1) Varroa - 2) Pollen -


Pollen ↑ Pollen ↓ Significance Varroa ↑ Varroa ↓ Significance


Varroa + Pollen ↑ 111 8 χ2 = 190.1 Pollen + Varroa ↑ 8 7 χ2 = 74.6
Pollen ↓ 244 624 P < 0.001 Varroa ↓ 81 1925 P < 0.001

1) Number of genes regulated by pollen feeding in bees parasitized (Varroa +) or not by varroa (Varroa -). 2) Number of genes regulated by varroa parasitism in bees fed with (Pollen +) or without pollen (Pollen -). ↑ and ↓ indicate genes that are up- or downregulated. Chi-square tests with Yates correction were performed to determine whether overlapping genes follow the same pattern of expression between the two conditions.
