Figure 2. The expression level of 11 potential miR166b target genes in whole body before and after silkworm ingested synthetic miR166b.

FED-control represents the silkworm larvae were fed on only mulberry leaves. FED-miR166b means the silkworm larvae were fed on a piece of mulberry leaf containing synthetic miR166b. Statistical significance was determined by Student’s t test (*p < 0.05).
