Fig. 1. Loss of hyd leads to ectopic differentiation and overgrowth in the
eye disc. (A-C) Adult eyes; (A) wild type; (B) hydK3.5
clones have induced outgrowths of wild-type (white+)
tissue; (C) hydK3.5 mutant clones generated in a
Minute background. All surviving photoreceptors are
white- and therefore hyd mutant. (D-I) Third
instar eye discs. Anterior is to the left and dorsal up in this and subsequent
figures. (D-F) Anti-Elav staining in brown and X-gal staining, to show
arm-lacZ expression, in blue. (D) Clones of wild-type tissue
identified by lack of arm-lacZ expression. (E) Clones of
hydK3.5 mutant cells identified by lack of
arm-lacZ expression. Ectopic photoreceptors are visible in an
anterior clone. (F) hydK3.5 clones generated in a
Minute background. Remaining wild-type tissue is marked by
arm-lacZ expression. (G,H) Anti-Ato staining in wild type (G) and in
a disc containing an unmarked hydK3.5 clone (H), where a
ring of ectopic Ato staining is visible anterior to the furrow. (I) An early
third instar eye disc with hydK3.5 clones generated in a
Minute background, stained with anti-Elav in red and anti-Ato in
green. Ato is already restricted to single cells at the anterior of the
disc.
