RNAi-mediated Double Gene Knockdown and Gustatory Perception Measurement in Honey Bees (VIDEO)

The Journal of Visualized Experiments

Caption

This video demonstrates novel techniques of RNA interference (RNAi) which downregulate two genes simultaneously in honey bees using double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) injections. It also presents a protocol of proboscis extension response (PER) assay for measuring gustatory perception.
