Extrinsic and intrinsic gene expression in symbiotic hatchlings in gravity controls relative to LSMMG. Expression of extrinsic, receptor-mediated apoptosis genes a Lbp1, b Lbp3, c Litaf, and d Fadd. Expression of intrinsic, stress-induced apoptosis genes e Bnip3, f Bak, g Diablo, and h Aifm3. Expression is conveyed as log2 fold-change (log2FC). Positive log2FC values denote higher expression in the gravity control group (solid bars). Negative log2FC values indicate up expression in LSMMG (hatched bars). Error bars are the standard error of the mean. Asterisks denote significant differences between the conditions (* = p ≤ 0.10, ** = p ≤ 0.05)
