Figure 5.

Normalized relative quantities (NRQ) of Beauveria bassiana transcripts encoding tenellin (BbtenS), beauvericin (BbbeaS) and bassianolide (BbbslS) synthetases into fourth instar nymphs of pyrethroid-susceptible (A) and pyrethroid-resistant (B) Triatoma infestans at different time periods after insect immersion in conidial suspensions. Values are means of three replicates ± SEM. Different letters indicate significant differences for a single gene through time. Asterisks indicate significant differences in gene expression at each time point. * p < 0.05; ** p ˂ 0.005; **** p ˂ 0.00005.
