Figure 2. First row: expression levels of the genes “vitellogenin-1-like” (p < 0.001) downregulated in the group “queenright” compared to the group “queenless” (control), “protein I’m not deat yet” (p = 0.004) and “proclotting enzyme-like” (p = 0.001) downregulated in the group “queenless+C646” compared to the group “queenless” (control). Second row: expression levels of the genes “juvenile hormone acid-O-methyltransferase-like isoform X1” (p = 0.01) downregulated in the group “queenless+TSA” compared to the group “queenless” (control) and the gene “circadian clock-controlled protein” (pQR < 0.001 and pC646 < 0.001) commonly downregulated in the groups “queenright” and “queenless+C646” compared to “queenless” (control). Third row: expression levels of the gene “transketolase-like protein 2 isoform X2” (pQR = 0.036, pC646 = 0.031 and pTSA = 0.047) commonly downregulated in the groups “queenright”, “queenless+C646” and “queenless+TSA” compared to “queenless” (control). Levels of significance are indicated as follows: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001.
