Tropilaelaps mercedesae parasitism changes behavior and gene expression in honey bee workers
Fig 6
The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between bees with or without learning ability in CK group and T. mercedesae-treated group.
A&B, GO term enrichment analysis in CKSN/CKL and TSN/TL was performed. The first lap indicates top 20 GO term and the number of the genes corresponds to the outer lap. The second lap indicates the number of the genes in the genome background and Q values for enrichment of the DEGs for the specified biological process. The third lap indicates the ratio of the upregulated genes (deep purple) and downregulated genes (light purple). The fourth lap indicates the enrichment factor of each GO term. C. Heatmap of related transcripts identified in the comparison between bees with or without learning ability. D. Heatmap of chemosensory-related transcripts identified in the comparison between bees with or without learning ability. The colours indicate the log2-transformed expression values, which represent the expression level of a transcript identified in control group or infested group.
