Averaged characteristics of cardiac defects following temperature shock.

Frequencies, pauses and number of pauses are expressed as mean ± SD. The pause duration (in sec) corresponds to the cumulative time of pauses during 5 min. All experiments are performed in Schneider medium. The number of experiments is indicated in the Table. For 1029Gal4×pain3, statistical significance is indicated on the left for data compared to wild-type and on the right when they are compared to pain3. In RNAi lines, observed phenotypes are weakly than in mutants probably because of a lower efficiency of RNAi in inactivating Painless. **p<0.0005; ***p<0.0001; n.s.: non significative.
