Figure 4

Effects of FAS2 RNAi on the expressions of stress tolerance genes Hsp21 (A), Hsp23 (B), Hsp70 (C), SOD (D) and GST (E), and water content (F) in adult female C. bowringi. The differential expression of stress tolerance genes was determined in the fat body at 3 and 7 days after dsRNA injection. Values are based on three independent biological replicates. Water content of diapausing adult female C. bowringi was measured at 7 days after dsRNA injection (dsGFP (control) n = 35, dsFAS2 n = 40). Error bars indicate SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 (t test).
