Gene-expression profile and tissue localization of OfChtIII. (a) Expression profiles of OfChtIII and related genes at different developmental stages as determined by qPCR. (b) Tissue localization of OfChtIII and OfChsA in the integument of O. furnacalis in one-day-old fifth instars by immunofluorescence staining. OfChsA, red (left panels); chitin, red (right panels); OfChtIII, green; DAPI, blue; C, cuticle; E, epidermis. |
