Figure 2

Expression profile of sk and bngr-a9 in Bombyx mori. (A) Transcript profiles of sk and bngr-a9 in tissues of 2nd-day larvae of the fifth instar were analyzed by qRT-PCR and normalized to the geometric mean of reference genes GAPDH and Actin A3. Abbreviations: AG, abdominal ganglion; BR, brain; EP, epidermis; FB, fat body; MG, midgut; MT, Malpighian tube; OV, ovary; SiG, silk gland; TE, testis. The data displayed as the folds of bngr-a9 or sk in AG, respectively. (B) Kinetic expression level of bngr-a9 and sk in Brain of fifth instar larvae. (C) Kinetic expression level of bngr-a9 and sk in the Midgut of fifth instar larvae.Data were normalized to the geometric mean of reference genes GAPDH and Actin A3 and displayed as the folds of the first-day expression level of bngr-a9 and sk, respectively. All data were taken from at least three independent experiments.
