Staged corto over-expression induced ectopic vein phenotypes mostly during late larval development
| Genotype | +/hs::Gal4 | UAS::corto/hs::Gal4 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time of heat-shock (hours After Egg Laying AEL) | Total females observed | % females with ectopic veins | Total females observed | % females with ectopic veins |
| No heat-shock | 32 | 0 | 195 | 17.9 |
| 48 h-72 h AEL (L2 larvae) |
127 | 3.1 | 182 | 25.8 |
| 72 h-96 h AEL (early to mid L3 larvae) |
123 | 3.2 | 235 | 29.8 |
| 96 h-120 h AEL (mid to late L3 larvae) |
56 | 3 | 216 | 46.3a |
| 120 h-136 h AEL (young pupae) |
78 | 5.1 | 309 | 31.7 |
For all genotypes, the first allele was brought by the mother. Only female phenotypes are reported here, but similar results were obtained for males. The number of females with ectopic veins when heat-shock was applied between 96 h-120 h AEL was compared to the ones of females with ectopic veins obtained after heat-shock applied between 72 h-96 h AEL or 120 h-136 h AEL (Z-test, a p < 0.001).
