Fig. 3. dnpc1a mutants are arrested during the first instar and can be
partially rescued by ecdysone feeding. (A) Comparison of different sizes of
larvae of wild type (top) versus dnpc1a mutants (bottom) at different
times points after egg laying (AEL) shown in B. (B) Graphic view of the body
length of the wild type (n=50) and dnpc1a mutant larvae
(n=50) at different times points after egg laying. (C)
20-Hydroxyecdysone feeding of developing larvae at two different time points
can postpone the lethal stages of dnpc1a mutants. x-axis,
