Fig. 6From: MicroRNA profiling of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci Middle East-Aisa Minor I following the acquisition of Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus Validation of deregulated conserved miRNA expression levels by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. The left panel (a) shows up-regulated miRNAs and the right panel (b) represents down-regulated miRNAs in viruliferous as compared to nonviruliferous whiteflies. The level measured for bantam and miR-306-5p in the nonviruliferous whitefly library was arbitrarily set to 1. Student’s t-test in EXCEL was performed and double asterisks indicate a significant difference (P < 0.01) between the two-paired samplesBack to article page
