A-C. Injections of Rm´per dsRNA abolished circadian rhythmicity of running wheel locomotor activity in some Madeira cockroaches (n = 4 of 12). (A) Double-plotted running wheel activity of a Madeira cockroach in constant darkness 7 days before, and 29 days after the injection of Rm´per dsRNA (star). At day 36 of the locomotor activity recording the cockroach was sacrificed (cross) and qPCR was used to confirm the knockdown. Chi-square periodogram analysis of the number of running wheel turns indicated significant rhythmicity with a period(τ)of 24.33 h 1–7 days before Rm´per dsRNA injection (B) and loss of rhythmicity 2–4 weeks after the injection (C).
