Fig. 2From: Comparative transcriptomic analysis reveals female-biased olfactory genes potentially involved in plant volatile-mediated oviposition behavior of Bactrocera dorsalisValidation of candidate olfactory genes by qRT-PCR. The expression of the fold-change measured by RNA-seq (n = 3) and qRT-PCR (n = 4) is indicated in white and black columns, respectively. Values shown in black columns indicate mean ± SE from four independent experiments. The asterisks above the standard error bars indicate statistically significant differences among the expression level of males and females in the qRT-PCR (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01) (independent-samples t-test) Back to article page
