Figure 5

(A and B) Expression patterns of BgHMG-S1 (A) and BgHMG-R (B), relative to BgActin5C levels, in the CA of B. germanica females during the last nymphal instar and the adult stage, measured by qRT-PCR. (C) BgHMG-S1 and BgHMG-R mRNA levels in the CA of 5-day-old Control, BgSvp-Ai and BgSvp-Bi females, relative to BgActin5C mRNA levels, measured by qRT-PCR. (D) BgHMG-S1 and BgHMG-R mRNA levels in the fat body of Control, BgSvp-Ai and BgSvp-Bi females, relative to BgActin5C mRNA levels. Error bars represent SEM (n = 6). Asterisks in (C) indicate differences statistically significant with respect to Controls (*p ≤ 0.0001; Student’s t test).
