Fig. 4. tec29 is required for microfilament ring contraction during
cellularization. (A,B) Projections of confocal sections of the cellularization
front after it has passed the nuclear bases of a wild-type (A) and a
tec29k00206 germline clone (B) embryo. Embryos
were stained with antibody to myosin. The microfilament rings of wild-type
embryos during late cellularization are round and constricted (A), whereas the
microfilament rings of tec29 germline clone mutant embryos are less
rounded and are not constricted (B). Scale bar: 10 µm.
