Fig. 2. The L5 primordium forms within the omb domain adjacent to
brk-expressing cells. (A) A third instar wing imaginal disc triple
labeled for Kni protein (red), Dl protein (blue) and sal-lacZ
expression (green, ß-Gal). (B) sal-lacZ (ß-Gal) channel
alone for the disc shown in A. (C) Kni and Dl channels for the disc shown in
A. Kni is expressed anterior to cells expressing high levels of sal,
but there is a significant gap between the posterior edge of the sal
expression domain and the L5 primordium. (D) A third instar wing imaginal disc
triple labeled for Kni protein (red), Dl protein (blue) and omb-lacZ
expression (green, ß-Gal). (E) omb-lacZ (ß-Gal) channel
alone for the disc shown in D. (F) Kni and Dl channels for disc shown in D.
omb expression extends well past the Kni L2 stripe anteriorly, but
just includes the L5 primordium posteriorly. (G) A third instar wing imaginal
disc triple labeled for Kni protein (red), Dl protein (blue) and
brk-lacZ expression (green, ß-Gal). (H) brk-lacZ
(ß-Gal) channel alone for the disc shown in G. (I) Kni and Dl channels
for disc shown in G. The L5 primordium lies along the outside border of the
high level brk expression domain. (J) A third instar wing imaginal
disc of omb-lacZ flies, double labeled for ß-Gal
protein (brown) and ab RNA (blue, arrowhead). The ab stripe
runs just within the domain of strong omb expression. (K) A third
instar wing imaginal disc of brk-lacZ flies, double labeled
for ß-Gal protein (brown) and ab RNA (blue, arrowhead). The
ab stripe runs just adjacent to the domain of strong brk
expression.
