pp5 deletion is viable, but leads to a reduced fertility in Drosophila. Wild type (wt) or pp5Δ/Df females were tested by crossing to wild type (first and second bars, p<0.01) or pp5Δ/Df males (third bar, p<0.001). We found a significant decrease in progeny number when pp5Δ/Df siblings were crossed, suggesting the role of PP5 in the early development of fruit flies. Significance was determined by Welch’s test.
