Effects of PGN challenge and mating on the mRNA expression levels of BdPho in B. dorsalis. a Relative mRNA levels of BdPho after PGN-EB and PGN-SA challenge. Blank: without injection; Control: injected with 200 nL sterile endotoxin-free water; PGN-EB: injected with 200 nL PGN-EB solution; PGN-SA: injected with 200 nL PGN-SA solution. b Relative mRNA levels of BdPho after mating stimulation. Data represent mean relative level values (mean ± SE) to reference genes of three independent biological replicates. The two-tailed, unpaired t-test was used to test significance. Asterisks indicate significant differences in relative expression (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01)
