Figure 1

Comparison of larva and pupa mortality caused by GPCR RNAi in T. castaneum. Stage-specific mortality pattern among different GPCR RNAi insects was compared. RNAi for five GPCRs results in most lethality occurred during the larval stage (Figure. 1A), while RNAi for 12 GPCRs caused relatively more pupal mortality than the larval mortality (Figure. 1B). dsRNA for malE (control) and selected T. castaneum GPCR were injected into one-day old final instar larvae. The percent mortality caused by dsRNA injection during the larval and pupal stages is shown. Mean ± SE of two independent experiments are shown.
