Effects of maternal RNAi knockdown of 7 MCO and 3 tyrosinase genes on egg production and hatching. Six sexually mature females were injected with each MCO or tyrosinase dsRNA. Total number of egg masses oviposited from 4 to 7 days after injection (A), mean number of eggs in each egg mass (B) and egg hatching rates (C) are shown. No significant differences were observed among them except for the hatching rate for RNAi of PsMCO2 (Steel-Dwass test; P < 0.05).
