Fig 2. Stability of CRY in living Drosophila animals.

Bioluminescence of adult Drosophila animals carrying a Luc-dCry reporter. Adult Drosophila transgenic male flies were measured in a Packard Topcount machine. The genotype of the flies is displayed on the right. Furthermore all animals carried one chromosomal copy of an UAS-Luc-dCry insertion. The x-axis indicates the time, the black and white bars at the bottom indicate the daily change of light and darkness (Light/Dark ratio 12:12 hrs). The y-axis indicates the bioluminescence level (in Counts per second CPS) and thus the luciferase amount. Per genotype 8 animals were investigated.
