Transcriptomic analysis to uncover genes affecting cold resistance in the Chinese honey bee (Apis cerana cerana)

The biological activity and geographical distribution of honey bees is strongly temperature-dependent, due to their ectothermic physiology. In China, the endemic Apis cerana cerana exhibits stronger cold hardiness than Western honey bees, making the former species important pollinators of winter-flo...
