Analysis of pentose phosphate pathway genes.

<p>(A) A decrease in the TAG levels in <i>G6PD</i>-depleted adult female mosquitoes, as measured by colorimetry. (B) Expression of pentose phosphate pathway genes <i>TAL</i> (top) and <i>RPIA</i> (bottom) during PE and PBM. Sample points, sample collections and experimental procedures are similar to that of <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1005309#pgen.1005309.g001" target="_blank">Fig 1C</a>. (C) Effect of Met and EcR knockdowns on the expression of <i>TAL</i> (top) and <i>RPIA</i> (bottom) during PE and PBM. Sample collections and experiments are similar to that of <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1005309#pgen.1005309.g004" target="_blank">Fig 4B</a> (for iMet) and <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1005309#pgen.1005309.g006" target="_blank">Fig 6A</a> (for iEcR). (D) AA and 20E had no effect on <i>TAL</i> and <i>RPIA</i> expression. Sampling and experiments are similar to that of <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1005309#pgen.1005309.s005" target="_blank">S5A Fig</a>. The controls are represented as relative abundance of 100. Error bars represent ± SD. *p < 0.05;**p < 0.01.
