Tissues dissected for sample preparation. a Male reproductive tract (MRT). The whole MRT and dissections of MRT (including TE, VD, and MAGs) dissected from 40 males were collected for RT-qPCR. MAGs dissected from 50 males were collected for MAG protein sample preparation. Each tissue was dissected from the dotted line. b Mated female reproductive tracts. Copulatory bursas (CB) and seminal receptacles (SR) dissected from 50 mated females were collected for mated-FRT protein sample preparation. Each tissue was dissected from the dotted line. c Unmated FRTs. The whole FRT dissected from 40 unmated females were collected for RT-qPCR. Copulatory bursas (CB) and seminal receptacles (SR) dissected from 50 females were collected for unmated-FRT protein sample preparation. Each tissue was dissected from the dotted line
