Fig. 3From: Efficient compartmentalization in insect bacteriomes protects symbiotic bacteria from host immune systemDifferential expression of TCT-induced genes in bacteriomes other than AMPs. The quantification was performed by RT-qPCR on S. oryzae bacteriomes and carcasses of symbiotic weevils, as well as on whole aposymbiotic larvae. Green dots: PBS-injected larvae (control); red squares: TCT-injected larvae. Asterisks denote statistical significance (ANOVA with Kruskal-Wallis test, *p ≤ 0.05). Error bars represent SE. Overall, upregulation in response to TCT is observed in both bacteriomes and carcasses of symbiotic weevils, as well as in aposymbiotic weevilsBack to article page
