However, when we analysed the expression of four AMPs (Diptericin, Attacin, Metchnikowin and Drosomycin) in prepupae after oral infection with E. carotovora at larval stage (Fig. S6), we found that HmlΔ>EcRB1DN prepupae induce a systemic humoral response similar to that of control. Here, ADSL is linked to infection.
