FIGURE 8.
Tissue-specific induction patterns of Tenebrio NF-κB genes in TmIKKε dsRNA-treated T. molitor larvae against various pathogens. (A) Induction of TmRelish mRNA in the hemocytes, gut, and fat body of T. molitor larvae. (B) Induction of TmDorX1 mRNA in the hemocytes, gut, and fat body of TmIKKε-silenced T. molitor larvae. (C) Induction of TmDorX2 mRNA in the hemocytes, gut, and fat body of TmIKKε-silenced T. molitor larvae. Asterisks indicate significant differences between dsTmSpz5- and dsEGFP-treated groups when compared using Student’s t-test (p < 0.05).
