Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

pnΔ third instar larvae exhibit a significant reduction in the percentage of cellular area marked for mitochondria (sqh-mitoEYFP) in the proventriculus cells from the foregut compared to controls. pnΔ adults also exhibit brownish-purple eyes and an increased sensitivity to oxidative stress (induced by feeding with paraquat) when compared to controls.

pnΔ adults exhibit a significant reduction in the amplitude of locomotor activity rhythm (circadian rhythm) under constant darkness while they exhibit normal circadian periods with normal percentages of rhythmic flies under constant darkness; normal bimodal activity patterns and anticipation under light-dark conditions; normal cell bodies and axonal projections of PDF-expressing circadian pacemaker neurons when compared to controls.
