Helicoverpa armigera dsRNA feeding assay. Feeding assays of H. armigera on transplastomic (hpACE-c) and nuclear (hpACE-n) transgenic N. benthamiana. Representation of H. armigera average weight (A) and size (B), ACE activity (C) and relative expressive (D) after 4 days of feeding on WT, transplastomic hpACE-c and nuclear hpACE-n transformants. All data are means ± SD (n = 30) after 4 days of caterpillars feeding on 2 week old seedlings. Significant differences to wild type were identified by analysis of variance using ANOVA.∗, ∗∗, and ∗∗∗ indicates a significant difference at P < 0.5, 0.1, and 0.001, respectively. An example of feeding assay with 3 wo detached leaves is represented in (E).
