Figure 4. Expression profile of the RhoprCCAP receptor gene during development in a pool of tissues containing dorsal vessel/fat body/trachea of 4^th and 5^th instars.

RhoprCCAPR expression level was increased prior to ecdysis and decreased post-ecdysis. Specifically, the peak RhoprCCAPR transcript level was observed in Day 7 post-fed (PF). Fold-difference in expression is shown relative to the expression of the RhoprCCAPR transcript in day 4 PF. Abbreviations: PF, post-fed; PE, post-ecdysis.
