Fig. 5. Early expression of ß
in the midgut does not rescue the delay in
migration caused by the absence of ßPS. ß
was expressed earlier
than normal in the midgut primordium of embryos lacking ßPS using the
48YGal4 driver, which drives expression in the endoderm and some
mesodermally derived tissues (arrow in D). ß
levels and endoderm
morphology were detected by in situ hybridization against ß
transcripts. (A) ß
is not normally expressed at stage 9 but visible
at stage 12 (C). (B) ß
driven by 48YGal4 was detectable from
stage 9 onwards. (D) Midgut migration was still delayed when ß
was
precociously expressed in ßPS- mutant embryos (compare C and D
with wild type embryo in Fig.
4A).
