英文摘要: We investigated the effects of paraquat on lifespan and the level of expression of mRNA for the antioxidant enzyme genes Sod 1 and Sod 2 in newly emerged worker bees of Apis mellifera ligustica Spinola. Paraquat was given atdoses of 200 mg /L,400 mg /L and 600 mg /L. Bees in the control group were fed sucrose. The results showed thatlifespans of honey bees decreased with the increase of paraquat concentration(P < 0. 01) . The relative level of expressionof the antioxidant enzyme gene Sod 1 increased linearly with the increase of paraquat concentration and it was significantlylower in the control group than in the paraquat-treated groups (P < 0. 05) . In contrast,the relative level of expression ofthe antioxidant enzyme gene Sod 2 increased initially but then decreased with the increase of paraquat concentration. The level of expression of this gene was significantly lower in the high-dosage paraquat-treated group (600 mg /L) than that inboth the control group and the low-and middle-dosage paraquat-treated groups (P < 0. 05) .
