Expression profiles of GbKr-h1 GbBr and GbE93 transcripts in G. bimaculatus during development. (a,c,e) Temporal expression of GbKr-h1 (a), GbBr (c), and GbE93 (e) in the abdomen tissues of nymphs based on qPCR analyses. Relative fold changes in mRNA levels were plotted, and the average expression levels on day 1 of the sixth instar were set at 1. mRNA levels were normalized to Gbβ-actin mRNA levels. Developmental stages are defined as days (D) after moulting. Data are presented as the mean ± s.d. (b,d,f) Transcript levels of GbKr-h1 (b), GbBr (d) and GbE93 (f) were determined on day 1 of the sixth and seventh instars. The transcript levels determined on day 1 of the sixth instar control nymphs were set to 1. The data presented are the mean ± s.d. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.005 according to Student's t-test. (g) Comparison between expression levels of GbKr-h1, GbBr and GbE93 during the development of nymphs. Units in the ordinates reflect the relative mRNA levels at each moment. Each value measured in individuals on day 1 of the sixth instar were set to 1. The blue, magenta and green curved lines represent the GbKr-h1, GbBr and GbE93 mRNA levels, respectively.
