Fig. 4: Expression levels of three heat-shock protein genes in R. padi individuals differing in infection status and with and without heat stress (at CTMax).

From: Enhanced heat tolerance of viral-infected aphids leads to niche expansion and reduced interspecific competition

Fig. 4

Expression levels are relative to those observed for virus-free aphids in the absence of heat stress (Hsp70 A: Student’s t-test = 9.81, df = 34, P ≤ 0.0001; Hsp70 B: t test = 6.45, df = 34, P ≤ 0.0001). Values higher than 0 indicate increased gene expression, whereas values lower than 1 indicate gene suppression. Significant fold changes compared with R. padi virus-free are indicated, and bars represent mean ± SE (n = 8 per treatment). Source data are provided as a Source data file.
