Effects of injected dsRNA on egg laying. Effects on oviposition following injections of dsRNA targeting a DvvABCB_39715 and b DvvABCG_3712. Females injected with DvvABCB_39715 dsRNA failed to lay eggs, and those injected with DvvABCG_3712 dsRNA laid fewer eggs and those that were laid failed to develop. In both cases, buffer-injected females lay near-normal numbers. The eggs laid within a period of 2 weeks were counted every other day
