Figure 9. E(spl) gene induction in Drosophila larvae after MeHg treatment.

Figure 9

Drosophila embryos were placed on standard cornmeal-molasses food containing 15μM MeHg or DMSO vehicle control. Development was allowed to progress to the late third instar larvae stage. Larvae were then homogenized, RNA extracted and gene expression determined by qRT-PCR, expressed in fold change over control treatments. (Error bars indicate standard deviation of three experimental replicates. No significant changes were found using Student’s t-test).
