Fig 2. Activation of dsx-GAL4 neurons in the brain induced mating-type extrusion and that outside the brain induced oviposition-type extension/egg-laying.

Fig 2

(A, B) Brain-restricted activation of dsx-GAL4 neurons induced mating-type extrusion of the ovipositor in a female with the genotype of UAS>stop>dTrpA1-myc/Otd-nsl:FLP; dsx GAL4 (G) / + by an increase in temperature to 32°C. The ventral view (A) and lateral view (B) of a mated female displaying mating-type extrusion are shown. (C, D) Activation of dsx-GAL4 neurons outside the brain induced oviposition-type extension/egg ejection in a female with the genotype of Tub>stop>GAL80/Otd-nsl:FLP; dsx GAL4 (G) UAS- dTrpA1 / + by an increase in temperature to 32°C. The ventral view (C) and lateral view (D) of a mated female displaying oviposition-type extension are shown. (E) The proportion of females that exhibited mating-type extrusion/egg-laying (left) or oviposition-type extension/egg-laying (right) upon a temperature increase to 32°C. The numbers shown in parentheses (E) indicate the number of flies examined. The drawings below the graph are nervous systems and the red colored region represents the activating sites by dTRPA1.
