RNAi silencing efficiency of TmRelish mRNA in T. molitor larvae and survival in the 10 days following microbial challenge. qRT-PCR-based estimation of TmRelish knockdown relative to EGFP control, 3 days post-dsRNA injection (A). Effects of TmRelish mRNA knockdown on the survival of Tenebrio molitor larvae post Escherichia coli (B), Staphylococcus aureus (C), and Candida albicans (D) infection. dsEGFP-treated groups infected with the same microbes were used as negative controls. Survival was monitored for 10 d. The experiment was performed thrice with similar results. ‘*’ indicates significant differences between dsTmRelish and dsEGFP-treated groups (p < 0.05).
