Fig. 5. Expression of AaJHAMT mRNA and JH synthesis in nutrient-deficient mosquitoes.

Fig. 5

A) JH biosynthesis was evaluated in vitro in CA dissected 24h after emergence, and it is expressed as femtomols per pair of glands per hour. Each bar represents the means ± SEM of 5–10 independent determinations of individual CA (unpaired t-test; *P≤ 0.05). B)AaJHAMT mRNA levels are expressed as copy number of AaJHAMT mRNA/ 10,000 copies of rpL32 mRNA. Each RT-PCR data point is average of three independent biological replicates of three insects. Large are control mosquitoes (dark bar) and small are nutrient-deficient mosquitoes (white bar).
