Figure 3

qPCR analyses for selected genes. The plots show relative whole brain mRNA levels for GB14420 (similar to cropped, left column), BG11943 (Cyp305d1), a cytochrome P450 like protein (middle column) and Clockwork Orange (Cwo, right column) for both foragers (upper row) and nurses (lower row). Samples size was 5 for all the analyses. Relative brain mRNA levels in each plot are normalized relative to the time point with the lowest levels. The P-value corresponds to a one-way ANOVA comparing the ΔCt values that are normally distributed. GB14420 and Cyp305d1 are shown for bees from colony H7 (similar results for Cyp305d1 were obtained for bees from colony S77), Cwo is shown for bees from colony S77. The bars at the bottom depict the illumination regime: black bar = subjective night, grey bar = subjective day.
