Fig. 5

Effect of exposure to benzothiazole on transcript levels of 12 female-biased chemosensory genes. The fold change of expression level from benzothiazole treatment to MO treatment in virgin and mated flies is indicated in white and black columns, respectively. Values shown in figure represent mean ± SE from three independent experiments. The asterisks above the standard error bars indicate statistically significant differences among the expression level of benzothiazole treatment to MO treatment, the asterisks between white and black columns indicate statistically significant differences among virgin and mated groups (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01) (independent-samples t-test)
