Quantitative PCR expression profiles of growth-related neuropeptides during the reproductive cycle. (A-C) Relative expression of indicated genes in H. asinina male and female anterior ganglia over the reproductive cycle. N = 4 anterior ganglia/data point for male or female as relevant. Error bars display standard error of the mean. Indicated notable spawning cycle events are as per Figure 4. Heat maps (right) indicate significant differences in gene expression between gender/timepoint groups, as per Figure 4.
