From: GFAT and PFK genes show contrasting regulation of chitin metabolism in Nilaparvata lugens
Malformation rates (A) and mortality (B) rates of Nilaparvata lugens at 48 h and 72 h after dsRNA injection. GFAT, glutamine:fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase; PFK, phosphofructokinase. The N. lugens used for the microinjection of RNAi were at the 1st day of the 5th instar nymph stage and dsGFAT or dsPFK injection were used as the test groups whereas dsGFP injection was used as the control group. This experiment had three biological repeats. *, significant differences (P < 0.05); **, extremely significant differences (p < 0.01). The deformity rate of the dsGFP treatment group was zero, with “●” indicating the data.
