Fig. 5. flamingo regulates dendritic extension. (A-C) Larval neuroblast
clones homozygous for fmiMB (A) and
fmiE59 (B) have overextending processes from the
calyx (long arrows) that are labeled with Nod-ßgal (C, and high
magnification in the inset). (D) Adult fmiE59
neuroblast clones also have processes that overextend from the calyx (long
arrow). In addition, reduction of cell number is evident, as is the lack of
the dorsal lobe. (E,F) Clonal expression of UAS-fmi (genotype
y,w, hs-FLP, UAS-mCD8-GFP/Y; FRTG13, fmiE59/FRTG13, tubP-GAL80;
UAS-fmi/+; GAL4-OK107/+) rescues the phenotypes of dendritic
overextension and cell number reduction in both larva (E) and adult (F).
