Apis mellifera ligustica Raw sequence reads
In recent years, increasingly serve climate conditions have intensified the threat of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) to ecological conservation. However, its potential impact on pollinators remains poorly understood. Honeybees (Apis mellifera), which serve as crucial pollinators and sensitive bioindicators of environmental pollution, may be exposed to AFB1 when saprophytic fungi colonize their food resources such as pollen, thereby posing a potential risk to their health. Here, we employed transcriptomic analyses to identify changes in gene expression to evaluate the functional impairment induced by AFB1 exposure.
