From: Conceptual framework for the insect metamorphosis from larvae to pupae by transcriptomic profiling, a case study of Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Expression of genes related to neuropeptides and hormone (or neuropeptide) receptors during metamorphosis of Helicoverpa armigera. A and B Heatmap of genes in the brain related to neuropeptides (A) and hormone (or neuropeptide) receptors (B). C qPCR validation of a gene in the brain related to neuropeptide. Histograms represent the results of qPCR (left Y axis). Line charts represent the results of RNA-Seq (right Y axis). Error bars represent mean ± SD. One-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test was used for statistical analysis of qPCR results. Different lowercase letters indicated significant differences (p < 0.05). BL5D2: the brain at the feeding stage; BL5W0: the brain at the initiation of the wandering stage; BL5D5: the brain at the prepupal stage; BP0: the brain at the initiation of the pupal stage
