Creation of a Biobank of the Sperm of the Honey Bee Drones of Different Subspecies of L.

The cryopreservation of gametes and embryos is an important element of biodiversity conservation. One species in need of conservation is the honey bee L. Changing environmental factors, especially the anthropogenic factor, have led to a reduction in the numbers of this insect species.

Haplotypes of the mtDNA Region in Russian Populations.

Analysis of the mtDNA locus is a widely used tool to establish belonging to a particular evolutionary lineage of L. (lineages A, M, C, O, and Y). In Russia, most of the area was once inhabited by from the M evolutionary lineage, but the introduction of bee subspecies from the southern regions of Russia (, ) and from abroad (, ) led to fragmentation of their native range.

Genetic methods in honey bee breeding.

The honey bee Apis mellifera is a rather difficult object for selection due to the peculiarities of its biology. Breeding activities in beekeeping are aimed at obtaining bee colonies with high rates of economically useful traits, such as productivity, resistance to low temperatures and diseases, hygienic behavior, oviposition of the queen, etc. With two apiaries specializing in the breeding of A.

Genetic Structure of Populations from South Korea, Vietnam and the Russian Far East Based on Microsatellite and Mitochondrial DNA Polymorphism.

In this article, we present the results of the genetic analysis of samples from the Russian Far East, South Korea and Vietnam. An analysis of the polymorphism of seven microsatellite loci and an assessment of the haplotype diversity of the mtDNA locus were performed. A fragment of about 431 bp in was sequenced.

The Current State of the Protected Population in Russia: Hybridization and Nosematosis.

The Southern Urals of Russia are the habitat of one of the surviving populations of the dark forest bee-the Burzyan population of . In this study, we present the results of the subspecies identification of bee colonies in the Altyn-Solok Nature Reserve in the Southern Ural Mountains using the intergenic mtDNA COI-COII locus and the assessment of the prevalence of nosematosis. Analysis of the mtDNA intergenic locus in the studied sample showed that 30.
