LncRNA6470/ace-miR-750-y axis modulates AcPP2A gene, immune response and survival of eastern honey bee larvae during fungal infection
ABSTRACT Chalkbrood, a destructive larval disease caused by the fungal pathogen Ascosphaera apis, causes substantial losses in apiculture. Although host–pathogen interactions in Apis mellifera larvae infected with A. apis have been investigated, immune defense mechanisms in the Asian honey bee Apis cerana remain unclea...
