aAll fly strain and analyses are described in section Materials and Methods. bGhost boutons and Satellite boutons are the total on the muscle 6 and the muscle 7 in segment A2 and A3. cP-values for ghost boutons counts were determined by comparison to third instar wild-type (WT). dUsing a standard t-test analysis. SEM, standard error of the mean. ** 0.05 < p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.
