How to remove specific axis labels not the nimor ticks from a MATLAB figure?

Hi all, I want to remove few Xlabels but I do not want to miss the ticks. Please see the attached png generated in MATLAB. From X-axis I want to remove 10^-9, 10^-7, 10^-5, 10^-3, 10^-1 to make the figure clearer. Thanks in advance.

set(gca,'xtick',10.^[-10:2:0])

For more generic coding set the two limits as variables, say powLo and powHi.

Thanks. Still I am missing the minor ticks in the figure :(

All the blobs on the axis in your attach graph are minor ticks it would appear. Your combination of number of decades plus font weight/size are such as to make a mess of things--there's simply not enough room to display all that in such large/bold style.

In Matlab HG one doesn't have control over minor ticks other than 'on','off'; whether with the newly-introduced (HG2) axes ruler property there's more granularity of control I don't know; I'm stuck at R2014b that doesn't have that incorporated as yet.
