The spatiotemporal expression profiles of BdPho in B. dorsalis. a The relative mRNA expression profiles of BdPho in egg, third instar larva, 5-day-old pupa and 5-day-old adult; b The relative mRNA expression profiles of BdPho in various body parts including head, thorax and abdomen; c The relative mRNA expression profiles of BdPho in different tissues including Malpighian tubule (MT), fat body (FB), mid gut (MG), ovary (Ov) and testis (Te). Data are presented as mean ± SE (n = 4). Lowercase letters above black bars and uppercase letters above white bars indicate statistical difference by ANOVA followed by the Tukey’s multiple comparison test (P < 0.05), respectively. Significant differences between female and male determined with t-test, asterisks indicate significant differences in relative expression (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01), and NS means no significant differences
