Fig. 2. GCM and GCM2 inhibit crystal cell formation. (A-D) Side views of
DoxA3 expression in stage 11 (A,B), or 15 (C,D) embryos. (A,C)
Wild-type embryos; (B,D) Df(2L)200 embryos. (E,F) Higher
magnification views of DoxA3-expressing cells located in the crystal
cell cluster in a wild-type embryo (E), or located ectopically in a
Df(2L)200 embryo (F). (G) Side views of DoxA3 expression in
a lzR1;Df(2L)200 mutant embryo at stage 15. (H,I)
Side views of stage 17 embryos carrying the Bc1 mutation
that induces spontaneous melanisation of the crystal cells. (H)
Bc1, (I) Bc1,Df(2L)200. (J-P) Side
views of DoxA3 expression in stage 15 embryos. (Q-S) Side views of
Pxn expression in stage 15 embryos. Genotypes as indicated in the
lower part of each panel.
