Effects of silencing AsLac2 on pupa and adult cuticle tanning. a Effects of two non-overlapping dsLac2 on pupal cuticle tanning at 38 h after the pupation (unpaired t-test: t (4) = 78.86, P < 0.0001 for dsLac2; t (4) = 47.87, P < 0.0001 for dsLac2-2; n = 3). b The molting and cuticle tanning in AsLac2-silenced, newly emerged adult (3 h after emergence, unpaired t-test: t (4) = 51.84, P < 0.0001, n = 3). AsRPL49 gene was used as the internal control. Scale-bars: 500 μm
