Figure 5

Larval arrest phenotypes obtained by plating P. superbus eggs onto agar plates containing a lawn of E. coli expressing dsRNA for P. superbus genes encoding contractile proteins. (A) dsRNAi phenotype for Psu-ifb-1 (cytoplasmic intermediate filament protein) and (B) dsRNAi phenotype for Psu-act-2 (actin-2). These images were taken 9 days post hatching. By this time the control embryos which had been plated onto agar plates containing a lawn of E. coli containing the empty L4440 plasmid vector had reached adulthood (C). The scale bar represents 100 μM.
