Fig. 2

a Tps1MIC mutant adults are morphologically normal. b Fold changes in wing size, cell size, and cell number are shown relative to heterozygous mutants. c Representative images of adult wing. en-Gal4 was used to drive UAS transgenes in the posterior region of the wing. The red line indicates the boundary between the posterior and anterior compartments. The blue encircled region was measured to obtain the wing size. d The size ratio between the posterior/anterior (P/A) compartment areas in the adult wing. Fold changes are shown relative to control (en-Gal4 > mCherry-RNAi). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-test (b), one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc test (d). The numbers of flies analyzed are indicated.
