a Larvae expressing control UAS-GFP dsRNA or UAS-cap-d3 dsRNA, under the control of eyGAL4, GMRGAL4 were allowed to pupate for 72–96 h, at which time males were dissected and imaged. b The volumes of brains dissected from third instar larvae expressing control UAS-GFP dsRNA or UAS-cap-d3 dsRNA, under the control of eyGAL4, GMRGAL4 were measured in males (left) and females (right). Results shown include larvae harvested from two independent experiments; each data point represents a single brain. P values were determined by performing two-tailed Mann–Whitney analyses. NS not significant. Error bars indicate standard deviations from the mean.
