The dsRNA-mediated suppression of P450s transcript expression in B. odoriphaga fed on the artificial diet with dsRNA. The control group was fed with dsGFP. (a) Repressions of the transcripts of four P450s genes after larvae were fed an artificial diet with dsRNA for 48 h. The transcript levels of four P450s genes were examined using qRT-PCR, and 18 s was selected as a reference gene. (b) Insecticide bioassays were conducted 48 h after the uptake of P450 dsRNA by the standard contact and stomach bioassay method. Mortality was assessed 48 h after the insecticide treatments. Results are mean ± SE of three biological replications (n = 3). The asterisks on the bars indicate significant differences between the control and treatment group after P450s dsRNA uptake (Student’s t-test, P < 0.05).
