Fig. 5. Early development of the PP nerve. Each panel shows one or more hemiganglia
on the right side of a germinal plate in which the N lineage was labeled with
RDA. (A) A series of three hemiganglia (
65-70 hours clonal age), from a
preparation that was also immunostained for ACT (green), reveals the close
association of the developing PP nerve (arrows) with the laterally migrating
nz1 and nz2 axons (arrowheads). (B) A single hemiganglion at the same age from
a preparation in which the O lineage was labeled with FDA lineage tracer
(green). There is a close association between processes originating from the
PD neuron (arrow) and the peripheral oz2 and/or oz3 neurons (lower
arrowhead). O-neurons PD, oz2 and oz3 are coincident with the PP
nerve and the latter two (oz2 and oz3) are closely associated with N-derived
neurons nz1 and nz2 (overlap appears yellow). Anterior is upwards. Scale bar:
