Figure 9. Effect of Aalbtra2 knockdown on vitellogenin gene transcription in Aedes albopictus post blood meal (p.b.m.).
(A) Relative expression of Aalbtra2 in various treatment groups (dsRNA or siRNA treatment, row 1–3; triple interference, row 4; and larvae soaking interference, row 5) compared with GFP control groups. The x–axis indicates the groups. (B) The relative expression of vitellogenin was quantified in female mosquitos from Aalbtra2-α, Aalbtra2-β, and Aalbtra2-γ treatment groups (dsRNA or siRNA treatment, row 1–3; triple interference, row 4; and larvae soaking interference, row 5) and control groups at 36 hr p.b.m.. The data are presented as the mean ± SEM (n=3; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001).
