Fig. 5From: RNAi-mediated CHS-2 silencing affects the synthesis of chitin and the formation of the peritrophic membrane in the midgut of Aedes albopictus larvaeExpression of genes involved in chitin synthesis pathway in Ae. albopictus larvae after CHS-2 silencing. A TRE1 and TRE2. B Cht2 and Cht10. C HK. D PAGM. E GNPNA. F GFAT. G G6PI. H UAP. Relative expression levels were calculated in comparison with those after dsGFP injection, which was assigned an arbitrary value of 1. Three biological replicates and three technical replicates were set. (One-way ANOVA, Duncan test, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01)Back to article page
