Fig. 2. hhbar3 phenotypes in the developing eye. Eye-antennal
imaginal discs, shown anterior rightwards and dorsal upwards. Black arrowheads
indicate the morphogenetic furrow. Genotypes are indicated below each panel.
(A-F) Hedgehog antigen (red in C and black in the other panels). Boss is in
green in C. (G-I) lacZ driven by the BS3.0 dpp enhancer
(Blackman et al., 1991). an,
antennal disc; oc, ocellar domain. In hhbar3, Hedgehog
antigen is undetectable in the presumptive eye field (compare at white arrows
in A and D) but is normal in the ocellar region and in the antennal disc
(black arrows in A,D). Hedgehog is first expressed in only two cells per
ommatidium (white arrowheads in B) and that these are not Boss-expressing R8
cells (white arrows in C). A low level of anti-Hedgehog stain is seen at the
posterior margin near the time of furrow initiation (white arrows in E,F).
dpp:lacZ expression is reduced in the furrow in
hhfse and eliminated from the central furrow in
hhbar3. Scale bar in A: 50 µm for A,D,G-I; 10 µm in
B; 1 µm in C; in F, 50 µm for E,F.
