Integument properties and candidate gene expression of Galleria mellonella morphs. Appearance (a), cuticle thickness (n = 170, *** = p < 0.001), and patterns of melanin deposition (c, d) of melanic and non-melanic morphs. Enhanced expression (mRNA levels) of genes encoding immune factors (gloverin, gallerimycin, apolipophorin III, IMPI, DDC, PPO), stress management (HSP90), detoxification, and cell proliferation of naive melanic (M) larvae compared to non-melanic (NM) larvae (e).
