Fig 5. Average relative expression (RE) of RPS6 in tissues from female M. domestica injected with 5 μg of dsGFP or dsRPS6.

All values are normalized to RE levels from flies injected with dsGFP. Significant reduction (P<0.05) in RPS6 expression compared to the dsGFP control group was observed in the head, thorax, and abdomen for the dsRPS6 treatment. A significant increase in RPS6 expression was observed in ovarian tissues from dsRPS6 treatments when compared to dsGFP injected samples. Error bars represent mean±SE and * represents significance at P<0.05. Tissues samples were pooled from 5 individual flies and injections were replicated 3 times.
