Transcriptional profile of Drosophila ptth in wildtype y,w¹¹¹⁸ and in pdf⁰¹ mutant as determined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR (A) Representative profile of ptth transcription in wild type animals. (B) Representative profile of ptth expression in pdf⁰¹ mutant. Top panels show the quantitative evaluation of ptth transcript levels using Scion Image software and the bottom panels the chemiluminescent detection... RPL17 transcription serves as an internal control. (C) Variations of ptth expression in wild type flies and pdf⁰¹ mutants. Mean values over three independent series of larvae were calculated. For each graph, the time of development is expressed in hours post ecolsion and intensity is given in arbitrary units. In C the dashed line and solid lines indicate the means of the pdf and wt measurements respectively.
