Results show the gustatory preference for Canton S larvae under blue light. Positive PIs indicate a preference for the first named side of the petri dish e.g. positive PIs in Zucker-Pure group show larvae preferred the side of the sucrose substituted agarose gel.

Firstly, I did an experiment where Dop1R1 was knocked down via RNAi. The following shows the results:

For the next experiment, the controls groups were the same, however in the experimental group Amon was down regulated. These are the results:

Lastly, in the course the data for the larvae experiment was collected only under blue light, so I used the same crossings and tested them under red light to use as a control.

All figures show the results for preference tests (salt/pure) conducted under red and blue light for different gal4-lines.

The first figure shows the results for the preference test (salt/pure) conducted with amon-RNAi only under red light.

For the next experiment I conducted the same preference test but with the split-gal4 line MB143B under red and blue light.
