Figure 6. Effect of silencing NlMet and NlKr-h1 on the preoviposition period and the number of eggs of N. lugens females.

Figure 6

(A) Preovipositon period; (B) Number of eggs laid. Comparison between macropterous and brachypterous adults for each dsRNA treatment, based on t-tests, P < 0.01. Comparison among different treatments, based on Duncan’s multiple range tests, P < 0.05. The letters a–e indicate significant differences according to Duncan’s multiple range tests at a 0.05 level. The numbers of females used for the experiment: dsGFP (n = 15 brachypterous and 17 macropterous), dsNlMet (n = 33 brachypterous and 14 macropterous), dual knockdown of NlMet and NlKr-h1 (n = 27 brachypterous and 6 macropterous), and dsNlKr-h1 (n = 22 brachypterous and 17 macropterous).
