Relative expression levels of Helicoverpa armigera and Helicoverpa assulta transcripts with PG-biased expression in different female tissues.
Expression levels of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, aldo-Ketose Reductase, desaturase and fatty acyl-CoA related transcripts were determined in female bodies without pheromone glands (B1) and PGs by qRT-PCR. Transcripts from H. armigera are labelled in red and H. assulta in blue. An asterisk indicates a significant difference between the expression levels in female body and PGs (P < 0.05, Student's t-test). “NS” indicates no significant difference (P > 0.05).
