Expression levels (Heat-Map and RT-qPCR) of genes putatively involved in sequestration mechanisms related to CA detoxification in LT and MV. A) Colours in the Heat-Map were assigned according to percentiles, with yellow referring to the lowest FPKM values (below 20th percentile) and dark blue to the FPKM highest values (above 95th percentile). Transcripts showing identities with those involved in salicin sequestration in Chrysomela populi (see Discussion) are marked with (*). B) The graphs show RT-qPCR results expressed as fold change (2-ΔΔCt) for transcripts showing similarities to the ones involved in salicin sequestration in Chrysomela populi, i.e. PCFT, SWEET1, SLC5A12 and SLC44A1 in LT and MV, respectively. C) The graphs show RT-qPCR results expressed as fold change (2-ΔΔCt) for other transcripts possibly involved in CA transport, i.e. PLT4, l(2)03659, ABCF2, MDR49 and ABCB6 in LT and MV, respectively
