Figure 2. Monarch Type 2 Cry rescues light-dependent magnetosensivitiy in Cry-deficient flies.

Figure 2

a, A tim-GAL4 driven monarch (dp)cry2 transgene (tim-GAL4/ UAS-dpcry2) rescues magnetic responses in cryb flies, while UAS-dpcry2/+ alone does not. The tim-GAL4/+ data are re-plotted from Fig. 1b. Bars show preference index values for naïve (white) and trained (black) groups. Numbers represent groups tested. *, P<0.05. Genotypes in parentheses: tim-GAL4/+ (y w; tim-GAL4/+; cryb), UAS-dpcry2/+ (y w; UAS- mycdpCry2#125a/+; cryb), and tim-GAL4/ UAS-dpcry2 (y w; tim-GAL4/UAS- mycdpCry2#125a; cryb).

b, Wavelength-dependence of magnetic responses is rescued by monarch (dp)Cry2 (y w; tim-GAL4/UAS- mycdpCry2#125a; cryb). The full spectrum data are the same that those depicted in a. Bars show preference index values for naïve (white) and trained (black) groups. *, P<0.05. Values from a and b are mean ± s.e.m.
