Spatial–temporal expression profiles of the two miR-14 matures in silkworm. (a) Expression of Bmo-miR-14-5p and Bmo-miR-14-3p at the moulting stage. Larvae of 3rd instar and 4th instar at the time stop feeding and after ecdysis, were selected for the detection at 6-h interval, respectively. (b) Expression of Bmo-miR-14-5p and Bmo-miR-14-3p among tissues. Data represent mean ± SEM. All experiments were repeated in triplicates. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 assessed by using Student’s t test.
