Fig. 7. High magnification TEM of new plasma membranes. Left-hand panel shows a
wild-type embryo. The paired plasma membranes are fairly straight, and a
constant distance apart. (A-C) anillinHP/RS-derived, slow
phase embryo (the same embryo shown in Fig.
6D-F). The panels show different positions in the same embryo, all
between furrow canals and the surface. (A) The paired plasma membranes are
almost normal, though the distance between them is variable. (B) The membrane
are still almost continuous, but they are highly distorted and electron-dense
material is present on the membrane. (C) The membrane is completely
vesiculated, similar to the region shown in
Fig. 6F. Scale bar: 150 nm.
