Developmental changes in the expression of JH biosynthetic enzyme mRNAs in the CA. Expression of JH biosynthetic enzymes mRNAs in CA of 4th instar of R. prolixus. Nymphs were blood-fed and CAs were dissected at different days after blood feeding until molting to 5th instar (10 days later). Enzyme mRNA bars represent the number of transcripts detected by RT-qPCR, and normalized using the expression of the rpL32 gene. Each RT-PCR data point is average of three independent biological replicates of 15 CA complexes. Enzyme abbreviations are as in Fig. 3.
