Effects of DvvABC transporter-specific RNAi on D. v. virgifera development. Buffer-injected controls (right) are shown next to dsRNA-injected individuals. a Injection of DvvABCA_50718-specific dsRNA into pre-pupae (PP) caused defects in adult wing development, while b PP injection of dsRNA for DvvABCB_39715 caused molting defects during eclosion. c, d and f Injection of dsRNAs for DvvABCG_3712, DvvABCG_14042 or DvvABCH_5118 into PP each resulted in severe molting defects during eclosion. e PP injection of Dvvw-specific dsRNA caused loss of eye pigmentation (arrow), while (g-h) larval injection of DvvABCE_2830 or DvvABCF_2701 resulted in a reduction in body mass and death prior to molting. i Injection of DvvABCG_3712-specific dsRNA into adult females interfered with embryonic development (arrow indicates location of head capsule in a control embryo). j DvvABCB_39715-specific dsRNA injected into adult females disrupted ovary development
