Effect of CpCHSB silencing in third instar larvae on chitin content. a Relative chitin content in fourth-instar larvae at 72 h after siCHSB injection (n = 10). b Rhodamine B staining of the midgut of fourth-instar larvae isolated after 72 h after siCHSB injection. c Chitin staining in the midgut at 48 and 72 h after siCHSB injection (n = 10). Results are shown as the mean ± SE (Student’s t-tests; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). Scale-bar: 50 μm
