Ecdysone promotes organ growth in hemimetabolous insects.
(A,B) Area of ovaries and wings from control, BgEcR or BgE75 dsRNA-treated nymphs at the end of the last nymphal stage. (C) Cell number in 8-days-old ovaries and 5-days-old wings from control and EcRi last instar nymphs. (D) qPCR analysis of the indicated genes using mRNA from control or EcRi wings from 5-days-old last instar nymphs. Error bars indicate standard deviation. Measurements are expressed in percentage relative to control organs. Two asterisks indicate p ≤ 0.005, three p ≤ 0.001.
