Fig. 2. Expression domain of eyg in the adult mesothorax and the wing
imaginal disc. (A) Adult mesothorax of a fly of genotype eyg-Gal4 >
UAS-lacZ stained with X-Gal (blue). The eyg domain occupies most
of the notum, except the scutellum (sc) and the lateral region, which includes
some macrochaetes. The dorsocentral bristles are marked with arrows and the
scutellar bristles with arrowheads. (B) Early (left) and mature (right)
wild-type third instar wing discs stained for en (green) and
eyg (red). The eyg expression domain occupies the greater part of the
anterior compartment, but does not extend to the posterior compartment. Note
the dot of expression in the wing hinge. (C) The thoracic region of a
wild-type disc stained for neuralizer (neu; green), which
marks the precursors of the macrochaetes, and eyg (red). The
precursors of two dorsocentral bristles (arrows), as well as some of the
pre-sutural ones, are inside the eyg domain. The scutellar bristles
(arrowheads) and the more lateral ones are outside the eyg domain.
(D) Double staining for pnr (blue) and eyg (red), showing
the overlap of their expression domains. (E) Thoracic region of a wild-type
wing disc doubly stained for Iro genes (green) and eyg, showing that
the expression domains of the genes overlap in part.
