miR-276 promotes synchrony of egg development in the locusts. (A–D) The effects of miR-276 antagomir in gregarious females on the progeny egg-hatching time (A) (in the normal curve, n = 1,320; comparison of SD of hatching time, Levene’s test, P < 0.01; comparison of duration of hatching peak, n = 24), hatching speed (B), and distribution of embryonic stages (C and D) (n = 25, SD comparison, Levene’s test, P = 0.05; the mean developmental stages comparison, Mann–Whitney U test, P = 0.05). (E–H) The effects of miR-276 overexpression in solitarious females on the progeny egg-hatching synchrony (E) (in the normal curve, n = 978; SD comparison, Levene’s test, P < 0.01; duration of hatching peak comparison, n = 21), hatching speed (F), and the embryonic development (G and H) (n = 24, SD comparison, Levene’s test, P = 0.05; the mean developmental stages comparison, Mann–Whitney U test, P < 0.01) in solitarious females. The data are shown as mean ± SEM, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
