Gemin2 overexpressors display puparial and wing postural defects.

<p>Compared to wild-type flies, which have a dorsal wing posture (<b>A</b>), flies with a pan-muscular overexpression of full-length Gemin2 (<i>Mef2-GAL4>Gem2</i>^<i>FL</i>) present with either droopy (<b>B</b>) or held-up (<b>C</b>) wings. (<b>D</b>) <i>Top</i>, Puparia of flies with a strong mesodermal overexpression of Gemin2 (<i>how-GAL4>Gem2</i>^<i>FL</i>) and the GAL4 driver control (<i>how-GAL4/+</i>). <i>Bottom</i>, Chart showing that Gemin2 overexpressors (<i>how-GAL4>Gem2</i>^<i>FL</i>) have a significantly larger puparial axial ratio when compared to controls (<i>how-GAL4/+</i>). The mean is marked by a horizontal line running through the data points and error bars are ± S.E.M. (****p<0.0001; <i>how-GAL4/+</i>, n = 14; <i>how-GAL4>Gem2</i>^<i>FL</i>, n = 20).
