siRNA-Mediated Silencing of doublesex during Female Development of the Dengue Vector Mosquito Aedes aegypti

Fig 1

Developmental silencing of dsx decreases adult female appendage size.

With respect to adult females fed control siRNA nanoparticles as larvae, mean adult wing areas (A), as well as mean adult wing (B), proboscis (C), antenna (D), and maxillary palp (E) lengths are significantly decreased in females fed dsx-KD A or dsx-KD B siRNA nanoparticles as larvae. Means for each control or experimental group are reported, and these were determined through the combination of data gathered in at least four biological replicate experiments. Error bars represent standard deviations. *** = P < 0.001.
