Proteome-metabolome profiling of wax gland complex reveals functional changes in honeybee, Apis mellifera L.

Summary: Wax gland complex (WGC) serves as the primary generator of beeswax; however, the dynamic biological function in wax secretion remains unclear. To elucidate the developmental mechanism of WGC, we conducted a comprehensive analysis to reveal the variations in proteins and metabolites among th...
