Figure 5

(a) Box-plots comparing the erg6 expression levels for localized (blue) and diffusive (red) states at two different time points: 48 h (n = 61) and 96 h (n = 55); box-plots represent the 25th and 75th percentiles and whiskers the 10th and 90th percentile; asterisks denote statistically significant differences between distributions (Mann–Whitney Test, U = 100, p = 0.01 for 48 h and U = 150.5, p = 0.001 for 96 h). (b) Similar box-plots as in (a), comparing the erg6 expression levels and dry-density for cells exhibiting low (less than 10%) and high (greater than 10%) coverage of the LD surface area by erg6; the y-axis is normalized with respect to the expression and density median values of the population, while asterisks denote statistically significant differences between distributions (Mann–Whitney Test, U = 64, p = 0.03 for eg6 expression and U = 18, p = 0.07 for cellular dry-density).
