Knockdown efficiency determined by RT-qPCR in dsRNA fed BMSB. Twenty micrograms of dsRNA targeting IAP, SNF7, PPI, ATPase, GPCR or GFP (control) was fed to BMSB nymphs on each day for three days. On the fourth day, the nymphs were fed on beans. Total RNA was isolated on the 4th day after initiation of feeding dsRNA. The RNA was converted to cDNA, and the cDNA and gene-specific primers were used to quantify mRNA levels of IAP, SNF7, ATPase, PPI and GPCR using RT-qPCR. The 18S rRNA mRNA levels were used to normalize expression. The mean of relative mRNA levels and SE (n = 3–4) in dsGFP and dsIAP (A), dsSNF7 (B), dsPPI (C), dsATPase (D) or dsGPCR (E) fed nymphs are shown. A one-tailed t-test was used to compare the mean of a single variable.
