Fig 3. The developmental expression pattern of O. chinensis Hsps in eggs, nymphs and adults.

Fig 3

The bars represent the mean ± SE (n = 3) of target gene mRNA expression at different developmental stages. The different small letters on the bars indicate significant differences between developmental stages (Duncan’s multiple comparison, P< 0.05). EG: eggs; 1st: first instar nymphs; 2nd: second instar nymphs; 3rd: third instar nymphs; 4th: fourth instar nymphs: 5th: fifth instar nymphs; AD: adults. The mRNA level in the eggs was arbitrarily taken as 1.0.
