Figure 1. The effects of HN on growth pattern and rate. (A) HN-treated larvae pupariated at normal time points and were slightly delayed at 5day after egg laying (>80 animals/group). (B) The egg-to-adult viability was no significant difference between control and HN exposure (>60 eggs/group, n≥5 independent experiments). (C) Average weight of larvae (Ctrl, n=187; HN, n=192) and adult flies (Ctrl male, n=53; HN male, n=54; Ctrl female, n=41; HN female, n=46) indicated. (D) HN-treated flies had no significant change in wing size (5 flies/group, n≥3). Error bars denote the standard error of the mean (SEM). NS: not significant.
