Fig. 6. All the prohemocytes have the capability to develop as crystal cells. (A-H)
Side views of stage 14 to 15 embryos processed to reveal DoxA3 (A-D),
or DoxA3 (blue) and Pxn (black) expression (E-H). The arrows
in C,D,G and H point to the ectopic activation of DoxA3 expression in
the amnioserosa upon srp-gal4-induced expression of uas-lz
in this tissue. (I-L) Higher magnification views of wild-type crystal cells
expressing DoxA3 (I), wild-type plasmatocytes expressing Pxn
(J), and DoxA3-expressing hemocytes upon srp-driven
expression of LZ in a wild-type embryo (K) or in a Df(2L)200 embryo
(L). Scale bar in I-L: 12 µm.
