Fig. 8From: Identification of the principal neuropeptide MIP and its action pathway in larval settlement of the echiuran worm Urechis unicinctusGene knockdown efficiency and the settlement rate of the larvae after RNAi. A: Gene knockdown efficiency of Tctex1d2 in dsRNA-treated larvae for 72 h. B: Larval settlement rate at 48 h of RNAi. C: Larval settlement rate at 72 h of RNAi. Data are represented as the mean ± SEM from three biological replicates. Asterisks indicate significant differences between Tctex1d2-dsRNA group and blank control group (*** p < 0.001). “ns” indicates no significant differences between EGFP-dsRNA groups and blank control groupBack to article page
