Fig. 9. Ea and Ep polarity directs the movement of their neighbors. On the left
side of each panel is a schematic drawing of part of a P1 isolate
and the experiment performed. Cells in the isolates were separated at the site
indicated by the broken line, rotated along an axis (unbroken gray line in A),
and recombined in their normal orientations. The arrow below the cells
indicates the direction of cell movement by the reference cell. On the right
of each panel is the corresponding side view, in which the P1
isolates are oriented as if looking down from one end, either P4 or
MSxx (as indicated). Yellow arrows indicate the direction of movement of
P4 cells and the green arrows indicate the direction of movement of
MSxx cells. Separation and recombination of (A) Ea and Ep, with P4
as the reference cell; (B) MSxx and Ea, with P4 as the reference
cell; or (C) P4 and Ep, with MSxx as the reference cell.
