Advances on Major Royal Jelly Protein 1(MRJP-1)and its Effect on Honeybee Learning and Memory
Royal jelly is known for its rich nutritional value,which is produced by young workers as only food source for the queens and worker larvae less than 3 days old.Major royal jelly proteins(MRJPs)are the most abundant water-soluble proteins within the royal jelly.In addition to being a nutrient,MRJP-1 has a well physiological regulation in honeybees such as individual development,nervous system development,behavior regulation and castes differentiation.In this paper,the MRJP-1's physicochemical properties,expression pattern within honeybees,and which effect on learning and memory were briefly reviewed,aims for provide some theoretical support for the future research on honeybee's cognition.
