Relative transcription levels of MnYorkie in the hemocytes and intestines of bacterial-infected prawns. At 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h after S. aureus (A, B) or V. parahaemolyticus (C, D) infection in prawns, hemocytes and intestines were collected and processed for the RT-qPCR analysis of MnYorkie expression. β-actin was used as an internal control. Data are presented as mean ± SD, N = 5. Significance was compared between the experimental group and the PBS-injected group at the same time point. Significant differences are indicated with an asterisk at P < 0.05, two asterisks at P < 0.01 or three asterisks at P < 0.001.
