Although more transcripts for primary metabolism were regulated in Ms larvae, they regulated only specific pathways, while Hv larvae regulated transcripts for all primary metabolic pathways.
For example, 16 more transcripts were defined as fiber initial specific at 1.9 fold change of expression and 13 more transcripts were defined as fiber initial specific if a significance of 0.1 was used.
Furthermore, more transcripts for the small subunit (APS) than for the large subunit were found in sugar beet, which is contrary to the situation in parsnip where more mapped reads were found for the large subunit.
For example, Ms larvae that fed on JA-silenced plants regulated 2 times more transcripts for carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, and 4 times more transcripts for carbohydrate metabolism than larvae that fed on N/PI- and N-silenced plants, respectively (Figure 3A, upper panel).
Discrimination of EGAD revealed about eight times more transcripts for I-86 than I-80 at all postnatal ages and investigated regions, meaning that embryonic transcripts in the rat are dominated by I-86.
However, Hv larvae regulated more transcripts for transporters when they fed on N-silenced plants (1.3 times more) than when they fed on N/PI- and JA-silenced plants (Figure 5, lower panel).
Ms larvae regulated 1.4 times more transcripts for protein targeting and degradation when they fed on JA-silenced plants than did Hv larvae that fed on these plants (Figure 6, upper and lower panels).
Ms larvae that fed on JA-silenced plants also regulated 3 5 times more transcripts for peptidases than did larvae that fed on N/PI- and N-silenced plants, respectively (Figure 4A, inset, upper panel).
Ms and Hv larvae that fed on JA-silenced plants regulated 3 and 1.4 times more transcripts for primary metabolism than larvae that fed on N- and N/PI-silenced plants, respectively.
Ms larvae that fed on JA-silenced plants regulated 2.3 3.4 times more transcripts for transporters than larvae that fed on N- and N/PI-silenced plants (Figure 5, upper panel).
Ms larvae that fed on JA-silenced plants regulated more transcripts for environmental information processing (signal perception and transduction) than did larvae that fed on N- and N/PI-silenced plants and as expected, all transcripts were down-regulated (Figure S2, upper panel).
