Fig. 2. Wg and Egfr signalling pathways are not required for the development of the
PE. (A-C) Clones lacking Wg signalling because of E-Cadhintra5
overexpression (green). These clones accumulate the Wg signalling
transcriptional effector Arm (red) in the cytoplasms (A, 24-48 hours AEL). The
arrowhead indicates the region of the clone magnified in the insets. (B)
E-Cadhintra5 overexpression reduces the proliferation and survival
of wing-notum cells (arrowheads), but have no effect in peripodial cells
(outlined clone). Wg is detected in red. Clones generated 24-48 hours AEL. (C)
These clones also eliminate the expression of zfh-2 (red) in cubic
cells (inset at higher magnification of the outlined clone). Clones generated
48-72 hours AEL. (D) Clones lacking Egfr signalling because of overexpression
of DN-Raf3.1 (green, 24-48 h AEL) reduce iro-C expression
(red) in cubic cells (inset at higher magnification of the region pointed by
the arrowhead). The same clone does not affect the proliferation and survival
of squamous cells (arrow).
