Effect of cyromazine on the ecdysone titer of larval and adult ovaries. (A) Ecdysone titer from the larval ovaries. Due to the small size of the larval ovaries, a total of 300 larval ovaries were dissected for each replication (N = 900, total number of larval ovaries dissected for each experiment). (B) For determining ecdysone titer from the adult ovaries, 20 ovaries were dissected for each replication (N = 60, total number of adult ovaries dissected for each experiment). The p-value of Student’s t-test is: ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.
