The invention relates to an
insertion and deletion marker NC037647.18674876 for identifying the high-yield character of bee colony
royal jelly of western bees and application of the
insertion and deletion marker NC037647.18674876 The method comprises the following steps: randomly collecting adult
worker bee individuals from a to-be-detected western bee colony, extracting
genome DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) as a template, and carrying out PCR (
polymerase chain reaction) amplification reaction by using a primer of NC037647.18674876 to obtain a PCR
reaction product; carrying out
agarose gel electrophoresis detection on the obtained PCR
reaction product, and sequencing the PCR reaction liquid with a target band; nC037647.18674876 site
genotyping is carried out according to a sequencing result, the
genotype is a homozygous
insertion type II, a homozygous deletion type DD or a heterozygous type ID, the I
allele shows 14bp insertion, and the D
allele shows 14bp deletion; the
allele frequency of the NC037647.18674876 site of the to-be-detected western bee colony is calculated, and whether the to-be-detected western bee colony is the
royal jelly high-yield bee colony or not is determined. The method can accurately, quickly and scientifically identify the
royal jelly high-yield character of the western bee colony, can greatly shorten the breeding period of the royal jelly high-yield bees, and accelerates the breeding speed of the bees.
