Fig. 4

The expression profile of 12 female-biased chemosensory genes in virgin and mated flies. The white and black columns represent the virgin and mated flies, respectively. Values shown in figure represent mean ± SE from four independent experiments. The asterisks indicate statistically significant differences among the virgin and mated flies in the qRT-PCR (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01) (independent-samples t-test)
