Verification of the stability of reference gene expression. Expression levels of a target gene, DcaeOBP5, in developmental stages (A), tissues (B), and sexes (including adult, antenna, and abdomen of both sexes) (C) were normalized by different reference genes. Bars represent the means and SDs of three biological replicates. Asterisk indicated that DcaeOBP5 relative expression normalized by one reference gene or combination of two reference was significant differences among different treatment, and the more asterisks, the greater the difference (P < 0.05, Duncan’s test).
