Fig. 5. Transcription of selected immune and chemical resistance markers and the ribosomal protein S5 gene from rRNA samples of Trichoplusia ni NL strain larval midguts, dissected from unexposed (control) larvae or larvae exposed to 10 g of neem leaves, determined by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR). A) DNA amplification bands as detected by RT-PCR in agarose gels; B) DNA density estimated values in units compared with the ribosomal protein S5 band using the image sofware Image J, where bars on each column represent the standard error value from 3 replicate samples.
