Fig. 7. Wing hair polarity after ft and fj misexpression. (A-H)
Hair polarity in adult wings. (A) UAS-ft/+; en-gal4/+. (B)
Dorsal hairs in UAS-ft/+; ap-gal4/+. (C) UAS-ft/+;
ptc-gal4/+. (D) sal-gal4/+; UAS-ft/+. (E)
UAS-ft/+; ds05142 en-gal4/ds05142. (F)
UAS-ft/+; fjd1 en-gal4/fjd1. (G)
sal-gal4/+; UAS-fj/+. (H) fjd1
sal-gal4/fjd1; UAS-fj/+. (I-P) Examples of wing hair
polarity. The regions shown are between distal L3 and L4 for I and K,
posterior to the PCV for J, L, M and N, and between distal L4 and L5 for O and
P. (I,J) en-gal4/+; UAS-ft/+. (K) UAS-ft/+;
ptcgal4/+, (L) sal-gal4/+; UAS-ft/+. Hairs are
often repolarized towards regions with higher ft expression (A,C,I,K,
near the anteroposterior boundary), although exceptions are observed. Hairs
near the PCV are repolarized within regions of uniform misexpression (A,B,J).
(M) UAS-ft/+; ds05142 en-gal4/ds05142.
Posterior polarity defects are decreased in the ds mutant background
(compare with J), but are not eliminated; the polarity differs from that in
the same region of the ds mutant
(Fig. 4A). (N)
UAS-ft/+; fjd1 en-gal4/fjd1. Posterior
polarity defects are decreased by the loss of fj (compare with J).
(O) sal-gal4/+; UAS-fj/+. (P) fjd1
sal-gal4/fjd1; UAS-fj/+. The hair polarity induced by
fj misexpression was normal between L4 and L5 (O), but was altered in
the fjd1 background (P). Hairs point towards regions with
higher fj expression (H,P).
