dsx-Gal4 RNAi knockdown of plausible candidate genes implicated by QTLs. We used three different dsx-Gal4 lines to knock down candidate gene expression; dsxGal4(1) is described in Robinett et al. (2010), dsxGal4(∆2) in Pan et al. (2011) and dsxGal4 in Rideout et al. (2010). The eight genotypes on the left of each panel were generated and scored in one experimental block, whereas the two genotypes on the right were generated/scored in an independent block. Because of a slight but significant block-to-block difference in the mean phenotype of the control genotype containing UAS-Luciferase (‘Luc’), knockdown genotypes were compared only with controls generated and scored contemporaneously. See Figure 4 for details of the labels and presentation of the data. NS, not significant, **P<0.0005, ***P<10–10.
