Expression of genes related to autophagy during metamorphosis of Helicoverpa armigera. A and C Heatmap of genes in the brain (A) and fat body (C) related to autophagy. B and D: qPCR validation of genes in the brain (B) and fat body (D) related to autophagy. 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; FL5D2: the fat body at the feeding stage; FL5W0: the fat body at the initiation of the wandering stage; FL5D5: the fat body at the prepupal stage; FP0: the fat body at the initiation of the pupal stage
