FIGURE 5.
The results of LvMmd2 gene RNA interference in Litopenaeus vannamei. (A) Relative expression level of LvMmd2 after RNAi in hepatopancreas. (B) Relative expression level of LvMmd2 after RNAi in muscle. (C) Relative expression level of LvMmd2X1 and LvMmd2X2 after RNAi in hepatopancreas. (D) The increase in body weight after LvMmd2 RNAi. (E) The increase in body length after LvMmd2 RNAi. PBS group and EGFP group were used as the control group. The expression of target genes was detected by qRT-PCR and normalized to the 18S rRNA gene as the internal reference. These results were based on three independent biological replications and are shown as mean values ±SD. Significant differences in the gene expression levels between the three treatments are shown as **p < 0.01.
