Robustness of the Dorsal morphogen gradient with respect to morphogen dosage
Fig 3
Varying the maternal dl dose influences gene expression.
(A) Box-and-violin plot of the ventral border of sog. (B) Box-and-violin plot of the dorsal border of sog. (C) Box-and-violin plot of the of the dorsal border of sna. The numbers above or below distributions indicate sample size (numbers of embryos imaged). Numbers between distributions indicate p-value; n.s. = “not significant”. Plus signs indicate statistical outliers. (D) Abundance of dl mRNA relative to wildtype, measured by qPCR. Red curve indicates expectation of y = 0.5x. Circles indicate weighted mean and errorbars indicate weighted standard error of the mean (see Methods). Numbers indicate sample size, including both biological and technical replicates (see Methods).
