Fig. 8. Expression of MAPK directed to the nucleus affects development in the
morphogenetic furrow. Eye discs are shown; anterior rightwards, dorsal
upwards. A-D are at the same magnification; E,F are at the same magnification;
G,H are at the same magnification. (AD) Atonal (green), Elav (red). (E,F)
F-actin expression. (G,H) Elav expression. Note that at the end of the
induction period (t=0) in HS:NM (C), Atonal expression is
markedly reduced in the furrow (arrow in C), compared with wild type (A) or
HS:M (B). Note that in HS:NM (D), 1 hour later Atonal
expression has recovered. In addition, in HS:NM at t=0 the
tight apical localization of F-actin markedly reduced in the furrow (arrow in
F), compared with wild type (E, arrow). Elav expression appears precociously
in the proto-R8 cells (arrowheads in H) compared with its normal first
appearance in the proto-R2 and R5 cells (arrowheads in G).
