Allozyme polymorphisms in Spanish honeybees (Apis mellifera iberica)

Article Abstract:

A protein electrophoretic study of polymorphic enzyme systems of Apis mellifera iberica, the Spanish honeybee, indicates the presence of five alleles of phosphoglucomutase, implying the influence of the rare allele effect. According to this effect, the hybrids possess a high quantity of alleles that are rare in the parent populations, suggesting that the Spanish honeybees are a hybrid between a Western European population of A. m. mellifera and an African population of A. m. intermissa.

Further linkage studies with biochemical markers in Apis mellifera

Article Abstract:

Linkage among several biochemical markers and the cordovan morphological phenotype in Apis mellifera were investigated. Twenty one trait combinations, 14 of which have not been reported previously, are presented. Only a pair of genes, Hk-1 and Pgm-1, is linked. The rest segregate independently. The linked genes have a recombination frequency of 17%. Further, results indicate linkage between an unknown lethal gene and Est-5.

Turkish honeybees: Genetic variation and evidence for a fourth lineage of Apis mellifera mtDNA

Article Abstract:

The mtDNA of bees from colonies of Turkish honeybees was examined , and four haplotypes were revealed, belonging to the eastern Mediterranean mtDNA lineage. Two differing noncoding sequences were found among the eastern Mediterranean haplotypes, wi the Caucasian sequence matching that described from A. m. caucasica, and the Anatolian sequence, matching that of A. m. carnica.
