Fig. 5From: Transcriptional profiling and physiological roles of Aedes aegypti spermathecal-related genesDetection of gene transcripts ChtBD2, KSPI, and Na+/Ca2+ in whole mounts of spermathecae of Ae. aegypti (inseminated females) by in situ hybridization with red RNA probes and DAPI (blue). EGFP probe was used as control. (D): spermathecal duct, (G): spermathecal gland, (dc): spermathecal duct cells, (ep): epithelial cells, dotted area: spermathecal reservoir. The spermathecal cuticle did not allowed the visualization of stained sperm. Bar: 50 μmBack to article page
