Figure 1

Haemocyanin expression during ontogeny. The mRNA expression of the different haemocyanin isoforms (SoH1, SoH2, SoH3) of Sepia officinalis in different tissues (yolk, embryo, gill, branchial gland) and developmental stages ranging from embryos (E1-E4) to hatchlings (H) and adults (A). The histogram shows the mRNA expression as normalised relative quantities with standard error. Thereby, asterisks indicate when the expression of the respective isoform differs significantly compared to the previous developmental stage on a significance level of 0.05 according to the Mann–Whitney-U test. Due to the low number of samples for E1 yolk and J gill, those stages are not taken into account for statistics. The lines illustrate the shift of the haemocyanin isoforms.
