mRNA expression of HlVgR in the ovaries of H. longicornis from unfed to oviposition periods. Total RNA was extracted from each ovary sample. DNase-treated RNA was subjected to cDNA synthesis. Data were normalized by a real-time PCR analysis of HlP0 mRNA levels in the cDNA samples. Data represent the mean ± SD of triplicate samples. Asterisk and hash symbols indicate significant downregulation (Student t-test) and upregulation (Welchʼs t-test), respectively, at P < 0.01. Abbreviations: 4dAE, 4 days after engorgement; 0dAO, the beginning of oviposition; 10dAO, 10 days after the beginning of oviposition
