qRT-PCR analysis of tissue-specific relative expression levels of locust insulin-related peptide-like 1 (LIRP) across castes of B. terrestris. LIRP is part of the insulin signaling involved in reproduction and diapause. It is most abundant in fat body and ventriculus of males and reproducing queens (see main text). Data represent mean ± SEM (n = 3–5) of normalized and rescaled expression levels. (A) Heatmap: Log-scale. Bar graphs: Relative transcript levels in linear scale (B) and log-transformed scale (C). Significantly different expression levels are indicated by different letters (p < 0.05).
