Fig. 9. Loss of ß
does not enhance other ßPS mutant phenotypes. (A,B)
Embryos lacking maternal and zygotic ßPS or both ß subunits were
stained with anti-filamin 1 antibodies to label somatic muscles. The muscle
phenotypes of single and double ß integrin mutants are identical. (C)
Cuticles from embryos lacking ßPS or both ß subunits exhibit an
equal frequency of the dorsal hole and tail-up phenotypes, owing to the
failure of dorsal closure and germ band retraction, respectively.
