Fig 1. Fragments used for the synthesis of dsRNAs.

(A) Schematic of the TuVATPase locus. DNA sequences used for the generation of dsRNA-TuVATPase are located in the 3^rd exon, fragment A (214bp), and in the 4^th exon, fragment B (416bp). UTR and coding sequences are shown in yellow and blue, respectively. (B) Schematic of the part of the scaffold 12 of T. urticae genome depicting the location of the 382 bp fragment that was used to synthesize dsRNA-NC.
