Expression patterns of post-vitellogenic mRNA's isolated by SSH from ovaries of B. germanica. Expression pattern of seven post-vitellogenic genes in ovaries of adult Blattella germanica during the first gonadotrophic cycle. 7-day-old females in the period of chorion formation were divided into three stages: EC (early choriogenesis), MC (mid choriogenesis) and LC (late choriogenesis), according to criteria shown in figure 2. qRT-PCR was normalized against BgActin-5c. Data represent copies of mRNA per copy of BgActin-5c, and are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 3).
