Analysis of genes highly expressed in adult worker MBs. (A) Schematic drawings of the head, brain, and MBs of the honey bee. The MBs are a paired structure in the insect brain, and the somata of the 3 class I KC subtypes are localized inside of each calyx, whereas those of class II KCs are localized at the outer surface of the MB calyces. lKCs, large-type KCs shown in green; mKCs, middle-type KCs shown in red; sKCs, small-type KCs shown in blue. (B) List of the top 40 genes highly expressed in adult worker MBs. Gene ID and gene description are provided for each gene.
