Fig. 5. vri overexpression induces atrophy of embryonic epidermis, adult
wing and thoracic hairs. (A) Wild-type embryo. (B)
UAS-vri16/pnr-GAL4 dead embryo showing atrophic dorsal
epidermis and anterior hole and head defects. (C) pnr-GAL4/UAS-rbf
dead embryo with a similar phenotype. (D) Wild-type wing. (E) vg-GAL4/+;
UAS-vri113/+ wing at 29°C showing notching at the margin.
(F) vg-GAL4/+; UAS-rbf/+ wing at 25°C with notching of the
posterior margin. (G) Scanning electron micrographs of wild-type thorax. (H)
hsp70-GAL4/UAS-vri19 thorax at 29°C showing atrophic
macrochaete. (I) hsp70-GAL4/UAS-rbf thorax at 29°C with a similar
phenotype.
