Transcriptional analysis of genesencoding HDACs and HATsin G. mellonella pre-pupae and pupae. The transcription of (A) histone deacetylase 8, histone deacetylase 8 isoform2, histone deacetylase complex and histone deacetylase complex subunitsap 18, and (B) histone acetyltransferase 1, histone acetyltransferase tip 60, and histone acetyltransferase type bcatalytic subunit in pre-pupae and pupae were determined by quantitative real time RT-PCR relative to the expression levels in last-instar G. mellonella larvae. Values were normalized against the 18S rRNA housekeeping gene and represent means of three independent measurements ± standard deviations (*, p < 0.05).
