Fig 9. Transposon expression levels, in Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) infected compared to uninfected Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) adults (Wb x WbL) and nymphs (Ny x NyL).

The x- axis shows contigs representing different transposable element categories that were identified using the search terms, as described in the Methods section. Normalized expression in reads, per kilobase per million mapped reads (RPKM) of the transposable elements, is plotted on the primary y-axis for: uninfected nymphal instars (Ny-red bars), infected nymphal instars (NyL- grey bars), uninfected adults (Wb- blue bars), and infected adults (WbL-purple bars). The fold-change response to CLas infection is plotted on the secondary y- axis. The pairwise comparisons between infected and uninfected nymphal instars (NyL/Ny- Black line), and infected and uninfected adults (Wb/WbL-red line), are indicated by the line graphs. Significantly different levels of transcript expression (P>0.05) (*asterisk) are shown for infected and uninfected nymphs (black asterisk), and for infected and uninfected adults (red asterisk).
