Figure 4. Effect of the ascarosides produced by adult beetle on PWN behaviour.

Figure 4

(a) The measurement of asc-C9 on the surface of the beetle from different developmental stages, including EDP, early development pupa; EA, emerging adult; FSA, fully sclerotized adult; L, larva; LDP, late development pupa; NEA, newly eclosed adult. Values are expressed as mean±s.e.m. of five independent experiments. *P<0.05 versus the LIII larvae (Student's t-test, unpaired and two-tailed). (b) Effects of different ascarosides at the same concentrations as produced by a chamber or one newly eclosed adult beetle on the chemotaxis index of PWN LIV larvae. Values are expressed as mean±s.e.m. of 10 independent experiments. *P<0.05 versus control (Student's t-test, unpaired, two-tailed). (c) Dosage dependent effects of asc-C9 on the chemotaxis index of LIV. Values are expressed as mean±s.e.m. of 10 independent experiments. *P<0.05 versus 0.01 pM and **P<0.01 versus 0.01 pM (Student's t-test, unpaired, two-tailed).
