TmIKKε gene-silencing and larval survival against pathogenic challenge. (A) RNA interference (RNAi) efficiency of TmIKKε mRNA after dsTmIKKε injection into T. molitor measured using qRT-PCR. The EGFP dsRNA-treated larvae served as a negative control. Larval survival was measured until 10 days after injection with E. coli (B), S. aureus (C), and C. albicans (D). The Kaplan–Meier survival plots (log-rank chi-squared test) were used to analyze the larval mortality. *Denotes significant difference over control.
