New approach to the selection of the dark forest bee colonies A. m. mellifera on genetic characteristics

Year: 2016

Pages: 208-214

Number: Volume 8, issue 3

Type: scientific article

Summary:

In this article we have carried out a molecular genetic analysis of the populations and colonies of the dark forest bee A. m. mellifera from the Urals and the Volga region in comparison with populations of the bees of “southern” subspecies A. m. caucasica and A. m. carpatica from the Caucasus and the Carpathians based on the polymorphism 9 microsatellite loci of the nuclear DNA. We was proposed in this article the genetic characteristics of the population (Ho=0,24, Hs=0,23, Ht=0,28, Fis=0,06, Fit=0,14, Fst=0,17) and the colony (Ho=0,20, Hs=0,16, Ht=0,15, Fis=0,23, Fit=0,35, Fst=0,11) of the dark forest bee A. m. mellifera were calculated and the method of selection of the dark forest bee colonies with introgression of "southern" less than 5% and genetic characteristic of thoroughbred colonies A. m. mellifera (Ho ≤ 0,30, Hs ≤ 0,30, Ht ≤ 0,30, Fis ≤ │0,45│, Fit ≤ │0,55│, Fst ≥ │0,11│).
