Ovarian Development and Vitellogenin Gene Expression under Heat Stress in Silkworm, Bombyx mori

Figure 2

Effect of heat stress on fecundity. Heat shock was given to spinning larvae and day 2 pupae and number of eggs laid per female was counted from each experimental group. Each histogram bar represents the mean value for fecundity (–12) and the error bar represents standard error of the mean (SEM). The asterisks show the data which are significantly different from control sample (unpaired -test; ). The abbreviations used are as mentioned for Figure 1.
