Fig 5. Effects of ClVg RNAi on reproductive performance of adult females of the bedbug.

Fig 5

(A) Survival rates after dsRNA injection. Numbers of replicates each containing three adult females are shown at top. Rhombic points and bars indicate survival rates of individual replicates and their means, respectively. (B) Effects on oocyte size. The longitudinal length of the largest oocyte in the ovary was compared among the treatment groups. Means and standard deviations are shown. Numbers of adult females inspected are shown at the bottom of the columns. (C) Effects on oviposition. Mean egg numbers of 8–9 replicates each containing three females are shown. Mean accumulative egg numbers for the treatment groups are indicated on the right side. (D) Effects on egg hatching rate. Rhombic points and bars indicate replicates and their means, respectively. Numbers of replicates (and total egg numbers inspected for each treatment) are shown at top. In (A), there are no statistical differences among the treatment groups (a likelihood-ratio test of GLM, P > 0.05). In (B)-(D), different alphabetical letters (a, b) indicate statistically significant differences (a likelihood-ratio test of GLM followed by multiple comparisons, P < 0.05).
