Enhanced Vitellogenesis in a Whitefly via Feeding on a Begomovirus-Infected Plant
Figure 6
Effects of artificial feeding with purified TYLCCNV on the Vg mRNA levels and fecundity in whiteflies.
Relative transcript levels of Vg gene (A) and realized fecundity (B) of adults feeding on diets containing purified TYLCCNV, inactivated TYLCCNV and equal volume of phosphate buffer (PBS) were compared. Mean±S.E. of three biological and three experimental replicates are represented. Values followed by an asterisk (*) represent significant differences (P<0.05, Student t-test).
