Schematic overview of the different hypergravity experiments.
(A) larvae are placed at hypergravity at 5dpf until 9dpf (3g), while (control) larvae are kept at normal gravity for 9 days. Total mRNA was extracted at 6dpf and batches of larvae were fixed at 9dpf for Alizarin red staining of bone matrix. (B) Experiment in which the control larvae were placed at 3g and kept at 3g until 6dpf (3g), or returned at 5dpf to 1g outside (3g>1g) or on the axis of the centrifuge (3g>axe) for one day. An additional batch of larvae was kept at normal gravity until 6dpf (1g). RNA extraction and Alizarin red staining are performed at 6dpf. For abbreviations see legend to Fig 1.
