The effect of knockdown of WBMinc13296 and WBMinc13295 on development and fecundity in a long period of time.

(A) Photographs displayed worms within different life-stage in tomato root (scale bar, 300 μm) and corresponding egg masses on tomato system (scale bar, 60 μm), respectively. The worms were stained with acid fuchsin and displayed red. (B) The proportion of treated nematode stages (fusiform, saccate and enlarged saccate). Worms with knock-down of WBMinc13296 and WBMinc13295 both displayed extremely increase and reduce in proportion of fusiform and enlarged saccate worms compare to controls, respectively. (C) The number of egg masses of worm per plant recovered after 45 dpi after treatment with dsRNA. Each bar value represents the mean ± SD of triplicate experiments (one-way ANOVA, n.s: no significance; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001).
