Fig. 5. The effects of the rk mutation on the ability of flies to respond
to bursicon or its putative second messenger, cyclic AMP. Neck-ligatured
wild-type (wt) flies were injected with (A) an extract containing bursicon or
(B) saline. Neck-ligatured rk4 flies were injected with
(C) a bursicon extract, (D) saline or (E) 8-Br-cAMP. The arrows indicate the
abdominal tergites where darkening has occurred.
