Figure 5: Frequency distribution of weight from control and experimental 5th instar locust larvae at different time points.

Figure 5

At day 0, half the locust population was injected with dsRNA for LmHex2, LmHex3 and LmHex6, or dsRNA for gfp as a control. After three days half the locusts from each group received a diet containing SBBI and SBTI, while the other half received a control diet supplemented with BSA. Weight gain was recorded during the experiment and is presented as frequency distributions for each subsequent subpopulation. Each final group contained at least 30 individuals, both male and female. Statistical differences in weight (ANOVA) are further discussed in the text.
