Fig. 2.

The 25 most up- and downregulated transcripts in diapausing flies. Flies diapausing for three weeks (3wD) were compared to one week old flies (1wN) kept at normal conditions. Upregulated transcripts are predominantly associated with the intestinal structures, fat body, spermatheca and heart, while the most downregulated ones are expressed in the ovaries intestinal structures and fat body (only Fad2). The changes are given as logarithmic fold change (logFC). For a complete list of altered gene expression see Additional file 3: Dataset S1
