Declines in bee populations across the world threaten food security and ecosystem function. It is currently not possible to routinely predict which specific stressors lead to declines in different populations or contexts, hindering efforts to improve bee health. Genomics has the potential to dramatically improve our ability to identify, monitor and predict the effects of stressors, as well as to mitigate their impacts through the use of marker-assisted selection, RNA interference and potentially gene editing. Here we discuss the most compelling recent applications of genomics to investigate the mechanisms underpinning bee population declines and to improve the health of both wild and managed bee populations.

通过基因组学改善蜜蜂的健康状况。

全世界蜜蜂种群的减少威胁着粮食安全和生态系统功能。当前不可能常规地预测哪些特定的压力源导致不同人群或环境的下降,从而阻碍了改善蜜蜂健康的努力。基因组学有潜力极大地提高我们识别,监测和预测应激源影响的能力,并通过使用标记辅助选择,RNA干扰和潜在的基因编辑来减轻其影响。在这里,我们讨论基因组学最近最引人注目的应用,以调查支持蜜蜂种群下降并改善野生和受管理蜜蜂种群健康的机制。
