Figure 6. Tissue specific expression of AaIPPI mRNA.
All female tissues were dissected from three-day old sugar-fed females. CA: corpora allata-corpora cardiaca; OV: ovary; HG: hindgut; BR: brain; MT: Malpighian tubules; HT: heart; MG: midgut and FB: fat body. The insert shows the male testis (TS) and accessory glands (AG). AaIPPI mRNAs are expressed as copy number/10,000 copies of rpL32 mRNA. Each RT-PCR data point is mean ± S.E.M of two independent biological replicates of 10 tissue samples. These studies are an expansion of studies published by Nouzova et al. (2011).
