Fig. 6. Thin section transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of
cellularization. The boxed areas are presented at higher magnification in the
panels on the right. (A-C) Wild-type embryo, fast phase. Note the almost
triangular furrow canals (arrow in B) and the almost straight, closely apposed
plasma membranes that connect the top of the furrow canal to the embryo
surface (double arrow in C). (D-F) anillinHP/RS-derived
embryo, slow phase. Furrow canals are lacking (D) or malformed (arrow in E).
There are no paired plasma membranes at the top of the furrow canal in F. A
line of vesicles is present in its place (double arrows). ER in F indicates an
ER lamella. (G-I) anillinHP/RS-derived embryo in fast
phase. The nucleus is mis-positioned (arrow in G). All plasma membranes
between nuclei are vesiculated at this stage. Scale bar: 10 µm in A,D,G; 4
µm in B,E,H; 0.8 µm in C,F,I.
