Table 2. Summary of effects caused by ectopic expression of Dsx genes in female embryos.

mRNA Amounts (pg) Eggs injected Juveniles Viability Long first antennae
dsx1-α 1000 128 81 63% 21% (17/81)*
dsx1-β 1000 124 98 79% 8% (8/98)*
dsx2 500 94 54 58% 0% (0/54)
egfp 1000 60 49 82% 0% (0/49)

Equal molar amounts of dsx1-α, dsx1-β, and dsx2 mRNA were injected. egfp was used as control. * P<0.05 versus egfp (Fisher's exact probability test).
