Expression

Organism Comment Expression
Ostrinia furnacalis the transcription level is relatively constant at the 4th instar stage but decreases between the 4th and the 5th instar molting time, with gradually increase throughout the 5th instar. Transcription level drops dramatically when the feeding ceases at the 6th day of the 5th instar. At the larval-pupal molting time, only minor amounts of transcripts can be detected. During the pupal stages, the transcription level increases at the 3rd day and then drops at the 4th day, suggesting that the enzyme might be involved in tissue reconstruction during the pupa-adult metamorphosis additional information
