Figure 5
Quantitative comparisons of the total differentially expressed hemolymph proteins of both A. m. ligustica (Aml) and A. c. cerana e (Acc) worker bee larvae and pupae at development time points on days 1, 3, and 5 respectively. The ratios of the protein abundance (Aml/Acc) are transformed, and the protein spots with |log1.5 ratio| >1 (p < 0.05) are selected as the differentially expressed proteins. Protein names (in abbreviations) and protein numbers (in the parenthesis) are listed as in the Additional file 1: Table S1. Positive value indicates higher expression in Aml and negative values denote higher expression proteins in Acc.
