Fig. 4. Tracheal lumen morphology in fasII and ATP
mutants. (A-F) Lumens (A,B,D,E) and dorsal trunk cell shapes (C,F) visualised
with anti-DE-cad of stage 16 fasIIeb112 (A-C) and
Atp
mutants (D-F). (A,C,D,F) Dorsal views; (B,E) ventral views
showing the ganglionic branches. (A,D) Embryos mutant for fasII and
Atp
develop long and convoluted DTs reminiscent of those of
grh mutants. Tubular dilations in the transverse connectives are
indicated by asterisks. (B,E) The lumen of several branches is discontinuous
(arrowheads at the GBs). In fasII, (C) and Atp
(F)
mutants the apical cell surface appears elongated and expanded. Scale bar: 20
µm.
