Fig. 3. Body size of parkin mutants is significantly reduced at eclosion.
(A) parkin mutant animals are visibly smaller than controls 2 days
after eclosion. (B) Body mass measurements of 20 individual males and females
were performed. In parkin mutants, mass was reduced by 30% in males
and 34% in females compared with heterozygous controls. This phenotype shows
significant but partial rescue with dpkR but not with dpkSR,
confirming the specificity of phenotype to parkin
(P<0.001, one-way ANOVA test). (C) parkin mutant wing
size is reduced by 23% in females (n=20, P<0.001, one-way
ANOVA test).
