From: Morphological, histological and gene-expression analyses on stolonization in the Japanese Green Syllid, Megasyllis nipponica (Annelida, Syllidae)

Figure 5

Expression patterns of 9 Hox genes (Hox1, Hox2, Hox4, Hox5, Lox5, Hox7, Lox2, Lox4, Post2) during stolonization, quantified by real-time qRT-PCR (a). Vertical axes show relative expression levels against the selected reference gene (RP49), and horizontal axes show stolonization stages. The blue bars represent expression in the anterior part and the orange bars represent expression in the posterior part. Different letters on bars indicate significant differences (Tukey’s test, P < 0.05). Error bars indicate standard deviations. (b) Horizontal bar charts show proportions of expression levels of the 9 Hox genes in the anterior and posterior body parts, based on the relative expression levels quantified by qPCR.
