Transgenerational expression analysis of miRNA in G. mellonella following exposure to bacteria contaminated diet. Expression of api-miR-263a in midgut tissue (A) and rest of the body (B) of larvae fed either with E. coli or S. entomophila. Expression of api-miR-263a in eggs laid by female imagoes that were fed as larvae with E. coli or S. entomophila (C). The transcription of this miRNA gene is given relative to that observed in larvae fed with an uncontaminated diet. Values were normalized against aae-miR-252.
