AMP gene expression following Beauveria challenge. AMP expression was measured 24 h after either fungus-free controls or Beauveria challenge in a D. melanogaster, b D. virilis, and c D. neotestacea. N represents total sample size. Both Bom CG5791 and drosomycin were strongly induced in D. melanogaster (p < 0.0001). The orthologues of Bom CG5791 were induced in both D. virilis and D. neotestacea (p < .005), though to a lesser extent than in D. melanogaster. Drosocin and DptC in D. virilis and D. neotestacea were not strongly induced by Beauveria challenge; drosocin differential expression in D. virilis was marginally significant (t(28.11) = 2.18, p = .038). Diptericin A in D. melanogaster was not induced by Beauveria challenge (p = 0.99)
