Expression patterns of NAG and chitin deacetylase (CDA) genes in different tissues and molting cycles of L. vannamei. (a) The beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase genes (NAGs) expression in the molting cycle; (b) the NAGs expression in different tissues; (c) the chitin deacetylase genes (CDAs) expression in the molting cycle; (d) the CDAs expression in different tissues. The bottoms of (a,c) list different molting stages of L. vannamei, from left to right, inter-molt (C) and pre-molt (D0, D1, D2, D3, D4) stages. The bottoms of (b,d) list adult tissues of L. vannamei, from left to right, Hc: hemocyte, Ant: antennary gland, Ms: abdominal muscle, In: intestine, Ov: ovary, St: stomach, Oka: lymphoid organ, Gi: gill, Hp: hepatopancreas, Te: testis, Es: eyestalk, Br: brain, Tg: thoracic ganglion, Vn: ventral nerve, Epi: epidermis, Ht: heart. The original transcriptome data are from [25,26].
