Knockdown of ago results in loss of shafts in chemosensory bristles. a-c Wings of progeny from a cross between neur-Gal4 and w1118 (n = 24, a) as control, neur > ago RNAi (n = 11, b) and neur > myc-ago wings (n = 13, c). Portions of wings in (a-c) are magnified in (a'-c'). Proximal to the left. d Numbers of mechanosensory and chemosensory bristles of the wings described in (a-c) were counted. The blue and orange bars represent mechanosensory and chemosensory bristles, respectively. (****p < 0.0001). e Sockets with and without shafts in chemosensory bristles were counted and their numbers are presented in a bar graph with orange and grey colors, respectively. (****p < 0.0001). All flies were cultured at 25 °C
