(a) Cartoon illustrating the time- and tissue-specific induction of brat RNAi. (b) Images of brain lobes expressing brat RNAi and/or GFP in type II NB lineages (wor-Gal4, ase-Gal80) for 0, 24 or 72 h and stained for Dpn (red). Schematics represent the images. (c) Plot showing log2-fold change of the expression of candidate target genes upon brat RNAi (one independent experiment). (d) qPCR analysis of candidate target gene expression in FACS-sorted control and brat RNAi type II lineages (induced with wor-Gal4, ase-Gal80) after 24 h of induction. (e) brat rescue analysis of candidate target genes (one independent experiment). Survival rate of controls and double RNAi experiments (induced with wor-Gal4, ase-Gal80) was determined two weeks after adult hatching. Red dashed line indicates the survival rate of the control.
Pictures and plots are representative of three independent experiments if not otherwise indicated. Error bars represent standard deviation. Scale bars, 20 μm.
