Figure 1

Larval growth curve and crude ecdysteroid titer. Shown are the mean wet weight (mg/animal +/− SE) and the whole body ecdysteroid titer in pg ecdysteroid/animal, as measured using the SHO3 antiserum, during the third larval instar. Sgs3-GFP denotes the time that the Sgs3-GFP fusion protein becomes significantly expressed in the larval salivary glands. (W), beginning of wandering; (~50% WP), about 50% of animals had formed white puparia (WP) by 44 hr after ecdysis. Their titer was identical to that of the larvae at 44 hr. (WP + 4), 4 hr after formation of a white puparia. Inset was included to clarify the small multiple titer elevations and peaks occurring at 8, 20 and 28 hr.
