Fig. 5

Expression levels of mRNAs of a group of genes located on chromosome 2 L pooled across parental lines (three sensitive vs three resistant lines) used to establish the advanced intercross population. Panels (a) and (b) show mRNA expression levels of candidate genes from extreme QTL mapping analyses in males and females, respectively. Panels (c) and (d) show mRNA expression levels of randomly selected genes in males and females, respectively. Green bars indicate the pool of sensitive lines, orange bars indicate the pool of resistant lines. *: P < 0.05; **: P < 0.001; ***: P < 0.0001; Student’s t-test
