During the common garden experiment, age and size synchronized 1-day old larvae originating from phloroglucinol treated and non-treated parents were infected with Vibrio parahaemolyticus (AHPND strain M0904) or Vibrio harveyi (strain BB120). To assess the immune gene expression profile of infected animals originating from treated or non-treated parents, transcription of immune-related genes in F1, F2, and F3 larvae infected with Vibrio parahaemolyticus (A) or Vibrio harveyi (B) was studied at 6 and 12 h post infection. Error bars represent the standard deviation (n = 3) and significant differences between the treatment and control groups at each respective generation are indicated by *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
