Figure 5From: Gene-knockdown in the honey bee mite Varroa destructor by a non-invasive approach: studies on a glutathione S-transferaseEffectiveness of gene-knockdown of Vd GST-mu1 in V. destructor following immersion in dsRNA solution. Adult V. destructor were soaked overnight at 4°C in dsRNA in 0.9% NaCl. Mites (n = 3) were assayed by RT-PCR at 48 h post-treatment and gel loading normalized to actin.Back to article page
