Silencing results of HcunFib-H and phenotype analysis. a Anatomy of the larval silk gland of H. cunea. ASG indicates anterior silk gland, MSG indicates middle silk gland and PSG indicates posterior silk gland. b RT-qPCR results 4 days after dsRNA injection for RNAi. Statistical differences were evaluated by t-tests. *** p < 0.001, n.s., not significant. Data indicate the means + SEM, N = 5. The expression levels were normalised by the expression of β-actin gene in different treatment samples. c & d Diameter of the silk ball after RNAi; statistical differences were evaluated by t-tests. *** p < 0.001, n.s., not significant, scale bar = 0.5 mm. e & f Comparison of silk spinning between wild-type and dsHcunFib-H-injected insects
