Reducing the expression of the proctolin receptor alters larval speed and thermal preference. A: using the Gal4/UAS system to knock down the expression of the proctolin receptor in muscle (24B-Gal4/UAS-RNAi ProcR) and in nervous tissue (Elav-Gal4/UAS - RNAi ProcR), to determine if reducing proctolin receptor expression alters the velocity of larval crawling at different temperatures. aSignificant differences between control and nerve (elav) trials. bSignificant differences between control and muscle (24B) trials. Error bars, SE; N = 14–19. B: ability of proctolin to increase changes in tonus is temperature-dependent. Increasing temperature decreases the force of sustained contractions elicited by 10−6 M proctolin application. Error bars, SD; N = 10. *P < 0.05. C: using the Gal4/UAS system to knock-down proctolin receptor expression revealed that altering proctolin receptor expression in muscle tissue significantly alters the preferred temperature of larvae. Error bars, SD; N = 18–20. *P < 0.05.
