We are working on larvicidal plant extract and would like to study the effect of larvicides on mosquito larvae. What genes are to be targeted for pPCR studies?
You could list up of pro-survival and pro-apoptotic genes including Bcl2 and Bax, homologs etc, and stress genes such as iNOS, HSP70, COX2 homologs in invertebrates. It would be more appropriate if you have Western blot data than RT-PCR.
