Identification and Characterization of Pheromone Receptors and Interplay between Receptors and Pheromone Binding Proteins in the Diamondback Moth, Plutella xyllostella
Figure 3
Tissue specificity and expression pattern of six candidate pheromone receptors amplified in male and female moth.
(A) tissue specificity of PxylOR1 and 3–7; M is D2000 marker (Tiangen), 1 is antennae, 2 is heads (without antennae), 3 is proboscis, 4 is labial palps, 5 is genitals, 6 is throats, 7 is abdomens, 8 is legs and 9 is wings, 10 is negative control. (B) Relative expression quantity of six candidate pheromone receptors amplified in male and female antennae. The x-axis shows the candidate pheromone receptors in male and female moths, the Y-axis indicates relative expression quantity (mean+standard error of mean). The expression of female PxylOR3 is taken as the reference standard.
