Figure 2. — The influence of tissue type and gregarine parasite exposure on immune gene expression across developmental stages of the flour beetle T. castaneum. The expression of the antimicrobial peptides defensin-1 (a), and cecropin-3 (b), the recognition protein pgrp-LC (c) and the reactive oxygen species generator duox (d) were assayed in extracted guts (top row of each panel) or whole bodies (bottom row) from larvae, pupae or adults that were either exposed to gregarine parasites as larvae (blue; right boxes) or not (orange; left boxes). The expression of each gene relative to the reference gene RP18s is represented on a log2 scale. Lines have been added to visualize the developmental trajectory of median gene expression.
