Partial masculinization of Aedes aegypti females by conditional expression of Nix
Fig 6
Doxycycline treatment partially restores maxillary palps size in transgenic females.
Mosquitoes were reared in the absence or presence of 50ug/mL doxycycline and supplemented with SURE cells during larval and pupal stages and after emergence, adult pictures were taken and maxillary palps were measured from F3 (A), F6b (B) and P5 (C) transgenic lines and Liverpool strain. The bars from the maxillary palps measurements represent the median. A Mann–Whitney U test was used to evaluate statistical significance. ns: P>0.05; ***: P<0.0001.
