Effect of silencing NlMet and NlKr-h1 on the ovariole number of N. lugens females.
The letters a–e indicate significant differences according to Duncan’s multiple range tests at a 0.05 level. The numbers of female adults used for the experiment: dsGFP (n = 43 brachypterous, 42 macropterous), dsNlMet (n = 42 brachypterous, 44 macropterous), dual knockdown of NlMet and NlKr-h1 (n = 46 brachypterous, 37 macropterous) and dsNlKr-h1 (n = 38 brachypterous, 41 macropterous).
