Figure 1. Differential expression of Hh signaling pathway members in Junonia coenia and Bicyclus anynana larval hindwings.

Summary of mRNA (italics) and protein expression data from [8], [9]. hedgehog (hh) and its receptor patched (ptc) are expressed in primitive patterns throughout the posterior wing compartment and in a narrow anterior domain abutting that compartment, respectively. These two genes are also expressed in novel domains in J. coenia but not in B. anynana: flanking the developing eyespot centers, and in the centers, respectively. The other depicted genes share a similar expression pattern between J. coenia and B. anynana.
