Robustness of the Dorsal morphogen gradient with respect to morphogen dosage
Fig 2
Theoretical consideration of the sensitivity coefficient.
(A) Testing whether a lower value of the parameter b could result in a lower sensitivity. (B) The empirical prediction shows that 1x embryos completely lose sna expression, while 4x embryos have an overexpanded domain of sna, and lose dpp completely. (C) The prediction when lower b values were used.
