Sum projection of a section of the tracheal dorsal trunk of a third instar larva of Drosophila. Nuclei are labelled by DAPI in blue, cell membrane with Disc Large in red, and ref(2)P in yellow.

Even today, the way my slightly chubby white cat scrunches when he walks resembles nothing more to me than a third instar fly larva, ... In total, Drosophila melanogaster has 14,000 genes, ...

Figure 1: Expression of AMPs is dependent on nutrition and insulin signalling. Figure 3: FOXO-dependent AMP regulation in barrier epithelia of Drosophila and vertebrates. Third instar wild-type ...

a, FOXO immunostaining in salivary glands of wild-type (WT) and K/K third-instar larvae. Scale bars, 25 μm. b , Insulin-dependent Akt phosphorylation in S2 cells treated with or without SecinH3.

Drosophila larvae avoid light during the foraging stage of their development. Research published in the open access journal BMC Neuroscience shows that both 5-HT (serotonergic) and corazonergic ...

Identification of eggs, first, and second instar larvae by morphological characters can be extremely difficult, and, because these stages are relatively short lived and seldom encountered during the ...

Second-instar larvae grow to around 10 mm and third-instar larvae grow to between 15 mm and 20 mm before wandering off as pre-pupae.

In fact, when buried under 50 cm of soil, 35 percent of the third instar larvae survived to adulthood and dug their way out of the ground. For third instar larvae buried under 5 cm of soil, the ...

Images (merges of 385, 488, and 561 nm fi lters) of Drosophila melanogaster at the larval stages showing organ details: a) fi rst instar larva, b) second instar larva, and c) third instar larva. Organ ...

Brain development in Drosophila larvae under conditions of starvation is supported, in the absence of adequate supply of nutrients, by an alternate “pathway.” ...
