AgTRPA1 mediates larval behavior within the shifted hot range.

Abstract

<p><b>a</b>) Arithmetic means ± S.E.M of total distance travelled in 300s for injected larvae reared at 30° C were plotted. Asterisks indicate <i>p</i><0.05 comparing AgTRAP1 and Non-specific siRNA-injected larvae (Mann–Whitney <i>U</i> test). <b>b</b>) Stack of larval trajectories (n≥10) recorded in 31-41°C gradient for buffer and AgTRPA1, Non-specific siRNA treatments were shown. Thermotactic indices ± S.E.M were shown for injected larvae reared at 30° C. Asterisks indicate <i>p</i><0.05 comparing AgTRPA1 and Non-specific siRNA-injected larvae (Mann–Whitney <i>U</i> test).</p
