Fig 5. Gene expression of detoxification genes in salivary glands of cabbage looper feeding on wildtype and mutant (def-1) tomatoes.

Salivary glands were dissected from 5^th instar larvae fed on wildtype or mutant tomatoes and used for real time qPCR analyses. Grey and white bars indicate expression of detoxification genes on salivary glands of larvae fed on wildtype and mutant tomatoes, respectively. Bars indicate standard error. Differences were analyzed using the nonparametric test Mann-Whitney U test. * indicates significance at p<0.05.
