Effects of plant-derived miRNAs on the development of P. xylostella. (A) and (B). Larval (A) and pupal (B) durations after miRNA agomir treatments. Data were presented as mean ± SD (Student’s t test, * p < 0.05). (C) Adult emergence rates after miRNA agomir treatments. Data were presented as mean ± SD (Student’s t test, ** p < 0.01) (D) Percentages of abnormalities of G88 pupae after miRNA agomir treatments. (E) Abnormal pupae produced by miRNA agomir treatments compared with the control. Data were presented as mean ± SD (Student’s t test, * p < 0.05).
