Figure 2. Reducing Mbl levels does not enhance the tergite phenotype.
A-D, Proportion of progeny within each phenotype category when repeat expression is driven by da-GAL4 alone (left column), or in the presence of the mblE27 mutant allele such that Mbl levels are reduced (right column). A, Wild-type control, B, 4xrCAA∼100 [line 1], C, 4xrCUG∼100 [line 1], D, 4xrCAG∼100 [line 2]. E, F, Total proportion for each genotype that shows any phenotype (‘any phenotype’ - category 2, 3 and 4) and the proportion with a strong phenotype (‘strong phenotype’ – category 3 and 4). E, 4xrCUG∼100 [line 1] shows a reduction in the proportion with any phenotype, but no change in the proportion with a strong phenotype with reduced Mbl levels. F, No significant effect was observed with 4xrCAG∼100 [line 2]. Comparisons were made using Fisher’s exact test, with significant results indicated above the proportion, where *p<0.05.
