Figure 3. The expression level of 6 differentially expressed genes in silkworm ingested synthetic miR166c and miR167e.

Differentially expressed genes were identified by transcriptome analysis. FED-control represents the silkworm larvae were fed on only mulberry leaves. FED-miR166c and FED-miR167e means the silkworm larvae were fed on a piece of mulberry leaf containing synthetic miR166c and miR167e, respectively. Statistical significance was determined by Student’s t test (*p < 0.05).
