Figure 4

Relative quantification of the gene expression levels of five transcription factors (that convey JH and ecdysone signals) across different developmental stages.

Samples marked with the same letter were not significantly different from each other, P > 0.01. A: Met and tai; B: Kr-h1; C: usp; D: EcR. FF: female first-instar nymphs; FS: female second-instar nymphs; FA1: early-stage female adults; FA2: middle-stage female adults; FA3: late-stage female adults; MF: male first-instar nymphs; MS: male second-instar nymphs; MPP: male pre-pupal stage; MP: male pupal stage; MA: male adults.
