Altered gene expression in AKH, insulin/IGF- and TOR-signaling pathways in diapausing flies. The scheme displays a generalized assembly of relevant genes (regardless tissue-specificity) in the three signal pathways. Transcript levels (logarithmic fold change, LogFC) are given in red for upregulated, blue for downregulated and black for no significant change (ns; LogFC close to 0). The acronyms are listed in Additional file 6: Table S3 where also references and details of gene/protein functions are given. The AKH signaling is generally upregulated and the expression of the target gene tobi increased (X depicts an unidentified transcription factor). The Insulin/IGF signaling is generally downregulated and as a result several of the FOXO-regulated target genes are upregulated. The TOR-signaling is also downregulated, together with a number of its target genes. The AKH signaling scheme was compiled after [68, 171], the insulin/IGF signaling based on elements from [29, 36] and TOR signaling assembled after [35, 57]
