Figure 5. ATHs ectopic expression induces formation of distinct numbers of ectopic sensory organs.
(A) Schematics of the wing disc assay; ectopic sensory organs formed upon ectopic expression of ATHs and AqbHLH1 driven by dpp-Gal4 were counted along the mid-vein until and including the anterior cross-vein. (B–D) Numbers of ectopic sensory organs; data are presented as mean with SEM. Statistics: Wilcoxon rank sum test on the number of bristles except for MmAth1 andHsAth1 on number of campaniform organs. Summary statistics can be found in Supplementary file 6E,F,I,J,M and N and all p-values (Wilcoxon rank sum test) for all pairwise comparisons in Supplementary file 6G,H,K,L,O and P. See also Figure 5—figure supplement 1.
Figure 5—figure supplement 1. Expression of ATHs and AqbHLH1 is upregulated compared with ato.
(A) Expression levels of ato and KI transgenes in eye-antennal discs (plotted as ratio over RPS13). (B) Expression levels of amos in the eye-antennal imaginal discs (plotted as ratio over RPS13). Note that the values for the amos-KI in (A) and (B) are identical as the experiments were performed in parallel. Boxes indicate interquartile ranges, lines medians, diamonds means and whiskers data ranges.
