Fig. 5From: De novo transcriptome sequencing and analysis of male and female swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus) reproductive systems during mating embrace (stage II)qRT-PCR validation of differentially expressed genes analyzed by RNA-seq in female. qRT-PCR was performed for 4 genes that were identified as differentially expressed between the female and male reproductive systems. The Y axis shows the relative mRNA expression levels. * p < 0.05Back to article page
