Figure 3: Expression of genes encoding putative S. exigua Cry2Aa-binding proteins in different tissues.
From: Proteomic analysis of Cry2Aa-binding proteins and their receptor function in Spodoptera exigua
cDNA templates were derived from the foregut (FG), midgut (MG), hindgut (HG), fat body (FB), Malpighian tubules (MT), and the remainder (R), of 4th instar larvae. Three independent samples were examined for relative transcript levels using the 2−∆∆CT method. a = Se-polycalin, b = Se-V-ATPase subunit A, c = Se-V-ATPase subunit B, d = Se-actin, e = Se-4-HB-CoAT, f = Se-Rack. Expression levels were normalized to those of the reference genes Se-RpL10 and Se-GAPDH. Bars with different letters indicate P values < 0.05 (ANOVA).
