Silencing Chitinase Genes Increases Susceptibility of Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval) to Scopoletin

Figure 10

Knockdown of TcCHITs expressions increased susceptibility to scopoletin and reduced susceptibility to DFB in mites. (a, b) Mortality of TcCHITs-silenced T. cinnabarinus to scopoletin at LC₅₀ and LC₃₀, respectively. (c, d) Mortality of TcCHITs-silenced T. cinnabarinus to DFB at LC₅₀ and LC₃₀, respectively. dsGFP was adopted as negative control. Error bars represent the standard error of the calculated mean based on three biological replicates. Different letters on the error bars indicate significant difference according to Duncan’s multiple tests (alpha = 0.05) that is, no statistical difference between “A” and “A”; significant difference between “A” and “B”.
