Supplementary Fig. 7

Male and female SDGDdsx heterozygotes that had inherited a maternal or paternal copy of the SDGDdsx allele were crossed to wild type counterparts and assessed for fecundity. The total larval output is plotted for individual females (dots). Red bars indicate the average and the mean count (± s.e.m.) is shown. Females inheriting the transgene from the mother (G1♀ → G2♀) have significantly lower larval progeny (*P = 0.0256, Kruskal-Wallis test) compared to wild-type control.
