Fig. 5. Genetic interactions between ed and genes of the Notch signaling
pathway. Anti-HRP labeling of neurons in the embryos (A-H). (AD) Lateral
views; (E-H) ventral views. Embryos in A-H were grown at 29°C. (A,E)
Wild-type (WT) embryos. (B,F) Examples of the extent of hyperplasia of the CNS
evident in ed2B8/edts embryos. Ectopic
expression of Nact in the parasegments 4-6 mediated by the
Kr-GAL4 driver, results in the suppression of neuronal cell fate in
this region (C,G). edts:UAS-Nact/ed2B8;
Kr-GAL4/+ embryos show strong suppression of the Nact
overexpression phenotype, resulting in a near WT morphology (D,H). (I) Control
wing of Dlvia1/+ fly. (J)
edts/edm1 flies grown at 25°C show a mild
thickening of wing vein II. (K) edts/edm1;
Dlvia1/+ flies grown at 25°C show an enhancement of the
thick wing vein II phenotype and show additional wing vein material (indicated
by the arrowhead) in the posterior cell. (L)
edts/+heterozygous flies raised at 29°C show a WT wing
morphology. (M) E(spl)8D06/+ flies raised at 29°C show
extra wing vein material (arrowhead) in the posterior cell with low
penetrance. (N) edts/+; E(spl)8D06/+ flies at
29°C display more ectopic vein material (arrowhead) with full
penetrance.
