AMP expression is IMD-dependent in S. zeamais and S. oryzae. colA, colB, and sarcotoxin expressions were measured by RT-qPCR 6 h after either PBS or TCT injections, following gfp or imd extinction. Gene expression was normalized by the geometric mean of two housekeeping gene expressions, rpl29 and mdh. a AMP expression in S. zeamais’ carcasses. b AMP expression in S. oryzae’s carcasses. c AMP expression in S. zeamais’ dissected bacteriomes. d AMP expression in S. oryzae’s dissected bacteriomes. The mean and standard error for five independent replicates are represented. Asterisks indicate a significant difference between two conditions based on a Welch’s t test (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001)
