Abstract:Recent global declines in bee health have elevated the need for a more complete understanding of the cellular stress mechanisms employed by diverse bee species. We recently uncovered the biomarker lethal (2) essential for life (l(2)efl) genes as part of a shared transcriptional program in response to a number of cell stressors in the western honey bee (Apis mellifera). Here we describe another shared stress responsive gene, Glycine N-methyl transferase (Gnmt), which is known as a key metabolic switch controlli… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
