Figure 10. Real-time PCR results of predicted neuropeptide genes in four developmental stages.

Figure 10

Stages include the late nauplius VI (NauVI), cyprid (Cyp), young juvenile (Juv) and the adult (Adu). Gene expression was measured for (A) A-type allatostatin (asta), (B) B-type allatostatin (astb), (C) C-type allatostatin (astc), (D) bursicon subunit β (burb), (E) calcitonin-like diuretic hormone isoform A (calcia), (F) calcitonin-like diuretic hormone isoform B (calcib), (G) eclosion hormone (eh), (H) insulin-related peptide (irp), (I) neuropeptide F (npf), (J) orcokinin (orco), (K) pigment dispersing hormone (pdh), (L) SIFamide (sif), (M) sulfakinin (sulf), (N) tachykinin-related peptide (trp). Values are showed as mean ± SD from three biological replicates. Asterisks indicate significant difference detected by one-way ANOVA comparing to gene expression level in juvenile stage (Tukey test, * p<0.05, **p<0.01).
