Effect of methoprene on the viability and morphology of Met overexpressing strains. The ED₅₀ values are given in μg/food vial. Morphogenetic defects in posterior female sternite bristle morphology/patterning and male genitalia rotation were scored as either normal or abnormal (Wilson and Fabian 1986) after examination of 25 male and 25 female survivors at a low dose (0.054 μg/vial) chosen to demonstrate differential responses of the fly lines.
