AMP gene expression following Serratia challenge. AMP expression was measured six hours after either sterile wounding (Sterile) or Serratia bacterial challenge (Septic) in a D. melanogaster, b D. virilis, and c D. neotestacea. N represents total sample size. Attacin B and drosocin were strongly induced in all three species (p < 0.001). However while DptA and DptC were strongly induced in D. melanogaster (p < 0.0001), and D. virilis (p < 0.0001) respectively, DptC in D. neotestacea was not (p = 0.42)
