Table 1. Relative expression of miR-7a compared with that of miR-8519 in different populations and instars of Plutella xylostella.

Population	Relative expression of miR-7a	Larvae of HZ	Relative expression of miR-7a
CHS	183.6 ± 11.6 **	1^st instar	204.9 ± 14.1 **
CHR	435.4 ± 50.6 **	2^nd instar	171.6 ± 3.3 **
HZ	281.6 ± 19.9 **	3^rd instar	88.9 ± 8.34 **
TH	160.8 ± 27.3 **	4^th instar	241.0 ± 4.8 **

Note: Data are ratios of relative expression of miR-7a to that of miR-8519, and presented as the mean ± SD for three independent replicates. The asterisks** represent a significantly different expression of miR-7a and miR-8519 (Student’s t-test, P < 0.01).
