Fig 6. RNAi results in suppression of the transcript levels with wing and fecundity phenotypes.

Different treatment group are wild-type, IB (buffer injection), dsiPTH, dsiPTHR1 and dsiPTHR2. (A) Larval RNAi suppresses only the target transcripts. (B) The percentage with abnormal phenotypes in the beetles among all the animals after larval RNAi (C) and after pupal RNAi. (D) Pupal RNAi suppresses only the target transcripts. (E) Reduced egg numbers in RNAi of iPTHR1 and (F) hatching rate of the offspring after pupal RNAi. (G) RNAi phenotypes of the beetles arrested at the time of eclosion and abnormal wings. Both elytra and hindwings are shown.
