  1. Gene expression levels (normalized against Rpl19) in virgin and mated females (±Standard deviation) are indicated. Data show the results for both the 1 day and 4 days post mating response. One way ANOVA and pairwise post-hoc FDR - adjusted P values are also reported. In bold are genes showing significant post-mating regulation.
