Fig. 6

The rdtps-1 Silencing impact on the survival rate of Rhyzopertha dominica at high temperature. (A) The effect of silencing 7 candidate genes on the survival rates after 7 days of temperature treatments. (B) Effect of RNAi-mediated silencing on rdtps1 expression levels determined in various samples by using RT-qPCR. (C) The trehalose content of each sample was tested by anthrone colorimetric method. The insects were fed on dsGFP or dsTPS for two days and then raised at different temperatures for two days. (D) Survival rates after 7 days of temperature treatments were recorded and calculated. Different letters (a to d) above the bars indicate a significant difference (P < 0.05) by the Turky test
