Dermestes PRG orthologs are required for elongation and PR-like segmentation. Schematic representation of defective patterns after PRG RNAi. Results are based on defective patterns in affected hatched larvae after pRNAi, except for ftz (eRNAi, gray bars). Black bars indicate regions affected at high frequency (>10%); tan bars show regions affected at low frequency (≤10%). For genes playing dual roles in Dermestes segmentation (eve, odd, run), black bars alone show PR-like phenotypes in moderately affected offspring (hatched), whereas black and tan bars together indicate severely affected, truncated offspring (unhatched). PR-like defects seen for slp^pRNAi versus prd^pRNAi or for ftz^eRNAi versus eve^pRNAi are complementary.
