Figure 5From: Genetically altering the expression of neutral trehalase gene affects conidiospore thermotolerance of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium acridumBioassay results for M. acridum against Locusta migratoria. 1: wild-type strain; 2-5: over-expression mutants; 6-9: RNAi mutants. A: mortality (±SE) of Locusta migratoria treated with wild-type strain and various Ntl transformants; B: lethal time values for 50% mortality (LT50) values of Locusta migratoria treated with wild-type strain and various Ntl transformants. Standard error (SE) bars are averages for four independent experiments. Same lowercase letters indicate no significant differences (p > 0.05).Back to article page
