Figure 6. Effect of nlgst1-1 dsRNA on the body weight grain of BPH nymphs.

Figure 6

BPH nymphs that had been pre-fed on artificial diets containing the indicated concentrations of nlgst1-1 dsRNA for 3 days were transferred to cultivar TN1 (BPH susceptible rice variety with low gramine content) rice plants to continually be reared for an additional 5 days in the controlled growth chambers (90% r.h., 28°C, 14 hr photoperiod). The body weight of each BPH nymph was weighed every day during this 5-day period of rearing on the rice plants. The average weight of nlgst1-1 dsRNA pre-fed BPHs was plotted as a function of days post rearing on the rice plants. All treatments were performed in triplicate groups with at least 10 nymphs in each group. The experiments were repeated at least five times. Data represent the means ± SD from at least five independent experiments. Bars with different letters indicate significance at P<0.05.
