Figure 5

Expression patterns of 11 genes by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Relative gene expression levels (log2) of matrix proteins ACCBP, KRMP-1, pearlin, Pif, prisilkin-39, MSI60, Chitin synthase, PfN23 and PfN44 were described before; while relative gene expression levels (linear) of transcription factors Pf-smad3, Pf-smad4, and Pf-smad5 exhibited different patterns. All of these results were positively correlated with the microarray data. F, fertilized eggs; T, trochophore stage larvae; D, D-shaped stage larvae; U, umbonal stage larvae; J, juvenile.
