Characterization of candidate gene expression in large and small ovaries of wild-type honey bees using relative quantification (RQ). Transcript abundances of four candidate genes were measured in large ovaries (LAO) and small ovaries (SMO) of wild-type bees. (A) TYR; (B) ftz-f1; (C) HR46; (D) MRJP1; (E) JHi-26. Bars represent means ± s.e.m.; different letters (a or b) indicate significant differences (post hoc Fisher's least significant difference, P≤0.05). Ftz-f1 and HR46 were more highly expressed in LAO than in SMO. TYR was more highly expressed in SMO than in LAO. There was no difference in MRJP1 and JHi-26 expression between LAO and SMO.
