Figure 7

Hierarchical clustering of the 16 target genes analysed based on mRNA expression, showing the cluster of the different studied genes with similar expression profile during larval development. Columns represent the mean data values for each of the 10 sampling times (days post hatching; dph) and rows represent single genes. Expression level of each gene is represented relative to its median abundance across the different stages and is depicted by a colour scale: green, black, and red indicating low, medium, and high relative expression levels, respectively. Coloured bars to the right indicate the location of two gene clusters: red corresponds to genes with a progressive increase in mean gene expression level from 2 to 60 dph; and green with those whose mean gene expression level decreased progressively from an initial relative high level of expression.
