Expression of Cmcns genes and genes involved in the synthesis of secondary metabolites in vivo. Silkworm larvae were injected with 25 μL of a suspension of 1 × 106 conidia/mL of C. militaris NBRC103752. Fat bodies and cuticles were collected at 3 to 5 days after conidia injection, and total RNA was extracted. RT-PCR was used to assess the expression of each gene. Mock indicates PBS-injection (uninfected control).
