Fig. 4From: Gene expression differences consistent with water loss reduction underlie desiccation tolerance of natural Drosophila populationsFunctional validation of nclb, Nsun2, and Dbp73D genes. Relative change in average mortality at the end of the desiccation assay comparing gene disruption and knock-down (RNAi)Â strains for the three candidate desiccation-responsive genes with control strains. At least three replicates were analyzed in all cases. Additional file 8C: TableS7CBack to article page
