Association between phenotype and AsLac2 expression during the pupal-adult developmental stages. a Phenotypes of female Anopheles sinensis at different development stages (from pupae to early adults). The black box represents the stages of rapid melanism. The red arrows indicate the melanism of the adult abdomen (The melanin degree and changes are not as dramatic as the pupal stages). b Expression pattern of AsLac2 from the pupal stages to the early adult stages as well as the derived ecdysone titers in the pupal stage are cited from [47]. AsRPL49 was used as the internal control. Scale-bars: 500 μm
