Global expression patterns of 28 immune genes in the RNAi pathway and an RT-qPCR assay of immune genes.
(A) Global expression patterns of 28 immune genes in the RNAi pathway using a hierarchical clustering analysis. (B) Quantitative RT-PCR analyses of the expression of RNAi mRNAs. The levels were normalized using RP49 transcripts as an internal control. The mean RT-qPCR assay results ± the standard deviations of three biological replicates are shown.
