The relative expression level of two <i>Met</i> genes in PGs.

<p>PGs of newly emerged females were dissected, and total RNA was extracted for qPCR analysis. Rp49 gene was used as the housekeeping gene for normalization. The data represent the mean values ± SE of three biological replicates. Significance of comparisons are marked with *** (<i>p</i><0.01) as determined by the Student’s <i>t</i>-test.
