Figure 5.
Structure and size of MGC glomeruli of O. nubilalis Z-, E-strain, F1 hybrid and paternal backcross males. (A) Left panels, different confocal sections from anterior to posterior of a F1 hybrid male (ExZ) antennal lobe. Right panels, delineations of a confocal section, red, lateral; green, medial; blue, posterior MGC glomeruli. (B) Volumetric measurement of the MGCs of parental strains, hybrids and paternal backcrosses (n = 6). Red, size of the lateral; green, size of the medial compartment; yellow, standard error. Lower case lettering, significance differences (ANOVA followed by a Tukey's HSD post hoc test; P < 0.05). (C) Three-dimensional reconstruction of the MGC depicted in A, rotated along the dorso-ventral axis. Scale bars in the confocal images, 50 μm.
