Aralkylamine N-acetyltransferase (aaNAT) acts in different aspects of vitellogenesis. (A) The relative expression of aaNAT mRNA in female brain and fat body compared to actin standard in adult females of P. americana 4 days post-injection with dsRNA^aaNAT. (B) Oocyte length of adult females of P. americana 4 days post-injection with dsRNA^aaNAT. (C) Expression of vitellogenin 1 and 2 (Vg1 and Vg2) and vitellogenin receptor (VgR) mRNAs in female fat body of P. americana 4 days after dsRNA^aaNAT injection. (D) Expression of genes encoding JH acid methyltransferase (JHAMT) and farnesoate O-methyltransferases (FAMeT) in the brain of adult females of P. americana 4 days post-injection with dsRNA^aaNAT. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. The significant differences are indicated by * (p < 0.05; B) or ** (p < 0.01; A, C, D), as compared to the controls, using Student’s t-test.
