From: RNA sequencing to characterize transcriptional changes of sexual maturation and mating in the female oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis

The effect of mating on the expression level of immune-related genes in the fat body (a) and head (b) of B. dorsalis females. RNA was extracted from the head or fat body of mature vigin females as well as mated females at 1, 12, 24 h after mating. Relative transcript levels of six antimicrobial peptide are calculated by real-time PCR using the 16 s rRNA gene as the standard control. Various letters represent significant differences of the expression level of genes (p < 0.05, Duncan’s test). Three biological replicates were performed
