Fig. 2From: RNA interference-mediated knockdown of 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde synthase affects larval development and adult survival in the mosquito Aedes aegyptiTreatment of mosquito larvae with DOPAL synthase dsRNA increased mortality of larvae and slowed in larval development. Bars represent the standard deviation. a The mortality of larvae after treatment with DOPAL synthase dsRNA. b The length of larvae after treatments with DOPAL synthase dsRNA. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. Abbreviations: DS, treatment of larvae with dsDOPAL synthase; GUS, treatment of larvae with dsgus RNAs; BC, black controlBack to article page
