Effect of postembryonic knockdown of Jak and STAT on adult antenna and eye development. (a-f) Antenna of adult Tribolium. ( a) Antenna of EGFP dsRNA control injected animal. (b) Antenna of Jak knockdown animal with a partially subdivided or duplicated terminal segment. (c) Antenna of STAT knockdown phenotypic animal with a partially subdivided or duplicated terminal segment. (d) Antenna of STAT knockdown phenotypic animal with a fully subdivided or duplicated terminal segment. (e) Antenna of eyg knockdown animal with reduced number of funicle segments and partially fused club segments (compare with Figure 4h). (f) Antenna of eyg+STAT knockdown animal showing the combination of STAT and eyg knockdown-induced antenna defects. Similar combinatorial phenotypes were observed in eyg+Jak knockdown animals. (g) Bar graphs showing comparison of compound eye size measured in average number of ommatidia between untreated and experimental animals injected with different dsRNA preparations as indicated at 1 μg/μl concentration. Error bars represent standard deviation. Single asterisks indicate significant difference to EGFP dsRNA injected control based on two-tailed t-test (P < 0.05). Double asterisks indicate highly significant difference to EGFP dsRNA injected control based on two-tailed t-test (P < 0.005).
