Figure 5: Effects of FAS2 RNAi on the duration of diapause preparation and incidence of diapause in adult female C. bowringi.

From: Fatty acid synthase 2 contributes to diapause preparation in a beetle by regulating lipid accumulation and stress tolerance genes expression

Figure 5

The time elapsed before adult female C. bowringi dug into soil to commence diapause was observed at 12 h intervals during the 7 days after dsRNA injection. Values are means ± SD based on three independent biological replicates. dsGFP n = 46, 49, 51; dsFAS2 n = 43, 46, 46. Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test in Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to show the variation in the duration of diapause preparation between dsGFP (total n = 146) and dsFAS2 (total n = 135) groups.
