From: Cubozoan genome illuminates functional diversification of opsins and photoreceptor evolution
mRNA expression levels of T. cystophora opsins in dissected body parts of adult jellyfish.
A) For real-time PCR analysis, medusae were dissected into eight body parts: tentacles (tentac.), manubrium (manb.), male gonads, gastric pouch (gastric p.), bell, outer umbrella (outer um.), sub-umbrella (sub-um.) and rhopalia. B–S) mRNA expression level of opsins for each dissected body part relative to the rhopalium expression (1.0 – red line). y – axis: relative mRNA expression level, x – axis: analyzed body parts.
