(A–D) AgHairy is a downstream factor of the JH/Met pathway. Expression profiles of AgMet, AgHairy, and AgGro during the PE development as measured by qPCR (A). Hormonal application experiments showing the effect of JH on the mRNA levels of AgMet, AgHairy, and AgGro (B). The effect of dsRNA-mediated depletion of AgMet on AgHairy transcript levels (C). The effect of dsRNA-mediated depletion of AgMet or AgHairy on the transcript level of AgGro (D). All expression analyses were done using qPCR. All experiments were done in triplicate with similar results. Error bars represent ± SD. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
