Figure 2. Survival of Drosophila populations expressing NtFT4, NtFT2, CG7054 or CG7054^dsRNA under the control of the daughterless (da) promoter. Survival curves of female (left) and male (right) flies in the filial generation after mating UAS-NtFT4, UAS-NtFT2, UAS-CG7054 or UASt-CG7054^dsRNA with the da-Gal4 driver strain. (A, B) Effect on lifespan of flies constitutively expressing the floral inducer NtFT4 (A) or the floral repressor NtFT2 (B) compared with da-Gal4 x Oregon-R (n = 200). (C, D) Effect on lifespan of flies constitutively expressing the Drosophila PEBP CG7054 (C) or constitutively silencing CG7054 after mating UASt-CG7054^dsRNA with the da-Gal4 driver strain (D) compared with da-Gal4 x Oregon-R (n = 200). Median and mean lifespans and statistical evaluation are summarized in Table 1 (female flies) and Supplementary Table 1 (male flies).
