Reduction and elimination of pro-resilin cause a wing posture phenotype. a In immobile wild-type flies, wings are flat and arranged at the dorsum (triangles). b, c In flies with reduced (pro-resilinRNAi) or eliminated (pro-resilinCC) Pro-Resilin function, the wings are held down (triangles, hdw for held-down wing phenotype). This phenotype is nicely visible in the Additional files 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24: movies S4, S5, S6, S7, S8, S9. d In wild-type flies, pro-resilin is expressed throughout pupal development. Expression drops at eclosion and remains low during adult life after 1, 2, 5 and 30 days. Expression is several hundred times lower in pro-resilinRNAi and pro-resilinCC flies (non-overlapping confidence intervals, CI, indicate significant difference in expression level). Males and females have been analysed separately after eclosion. NRQ, normalised relative quantity. Images were generated with a Leica EZ4HD with an in-built camera
