CRY, PDF, and Pyx pathways are required for GMF-modulated geotaxis. a, e, i Comparisons of the geotactic positioning of wild-type and the CRY-, PDF- and Pyx-deficient flies, respectively, under the negative geotactic GMF condition. Error bars: SEM. n.s.: not significant. **, P < 0.01; ****, P < 0.001 by Student’s t-test. b, f, j Comparisons of the geotactic positioning of the wild-type and null mutant flies for cry, pdf, and pyx, respectively, under the positive geotactic GMF condition. Error bars: SEM. n.s.: not significant. **, P < 0.01 by Student’s t-test. c, g, k Comparisons of the geotactic positioning of the flies mutant for cry, pdf, and pyx, and the flies in which these genes were genetically restored in the mutant background, respectively. Error bars: SEM. n.s.: not significant. **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.005 by Student’s t-test. d, h, l Comparisons of the geotactic positioning of the wild-type flies, control flies (GAL4 transgene alone, UAS-RNAi alone), and flies with knockdown of cry, pdf, and pyx transcripts using the gene-specific GAL4 driver, respectively. Error bars: SEM. n.s.: not significant. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.005; ****, P < 0.001 by Student’s t-test. For all the data, n = 10 trials
