Year 2021, Volume: 16 Issue: 1, 59 - 65, 10.06.2021

Abstract

Araştırmada, üç generasyon yetiştirilen ve pedigri kayıtları bilinen Bombus terrestris kolonilerinde üretilen işçi arılarının bazı morfolojik özellikleri ölçülmüş ve bu özelliklerin kalıtım dereceleri tahmin edilmiştir. Çalışmada birinci generasyonda 43 adet, ikinci generasyonda 115 adet ve üçüncü generasyonda ise 42 adet koloni kullanılmıştır. Her bir koloniden 3 adet işçi arı alınmış ve toplam 600 adet işçi arıya ait morfolojik özellikler ölçülüp kalıtım dereceleri tahmin edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda B. terrestris işçi arılarının tarlacılık performansına etki edebilecek morfolojik özelliklerin kalıtım dereceleri (h2) işçi arı ağırlığı için 0.71  0.045, dil uzunluğu için 0.72  0.045, ön kanat uzunluğu için 0.75  0.045, ön kanat genişliği için 0.71  0.045, arka kanat uzunluğu için 0.74  0.045, arka kanat genişliği için 0.74  0.045, kanat indeksi için 0.64  0.046, femur uzunluğu için 0.45  0.046, tibia uzunluğu için 0.73  0.045, metatarsus uzunluğu için 0.63  0.046, arka bacak uzunluğu için 0.69  0.045, metatarsus genişliği için 0.65  0.046 ve metatarsus indeksi için 0.60  0.046 olarak tahmin edilmiştir.

Estimation of Heritabilities for Some Morphological Traits in Bumblebees, Bombus terrestris L.

Year 2021, Volume: 16 Issue: 1, 59 - 65, 10.06.2021

Abstract

Some morphological traits of Bombus terrestris workers, which three generation were reared and their pedigree records were known, were measured. Heritability of these traits were estimated. In the study, 43, 115 and 42 colonies were used for the first generation, the second generation, and the third generation, respectively. Three workers collected from each colony and morphological traits of 600 workers were measured and their heritability was estimated. Results showed that the heritability of some morphological traits that can affect the pollination performance of B. terrestris were estimated as 0.71  0.045 for worker weight, 0.72 ± 0.045 for tongue length, 0.75 ± 0.045 for forewing length, 0.71 ± 0.045 for forewing width, 0.74 ± 0.045 for hindwing length, 0.74 ± 0.045 for hindwing width, 0.64 ± 0.046 for wing index, 0.69 ± 0.045 for hind leg length, 0.45 ± 0.046 for femur length, 0.73 ± 0.045 for tibia length, 0.63 ± 0.046 for metatarsus length, 0.65 ± 0.046 for metatarsus width, and 0,60 ± 0,046 for metatarsus index.
