Figure 7. Ultrastructure of elytral cuticle of TcCP30-deficient adults.

Figure 7

(A) Elytra from pharate adults (day 5 pupae) and (B) day 1 adults that had been injected with dsTcCP30 or dsTcVer at late larval stage were collected for analysis of ultrastructure by TEM. Bottom panels show enlarged images of the horizontal laminae and vertical pore canals in the procuticle of the dorsal elytral cuticles from each of the dsRNA treated-insects. EN, envelope; EP, epicuticle; PRO, procuticle; PCF, pore canal fiber; APMP, apical plasma membrane protrusion. Scale bar in top panels = 2 μm and bottom panels = 500 nm.
