Fig. 5. Expression of GBB does not induce ectopic anterior margin bristles on the
wing blade. (A) Ventral view of a UAS.Gbb/ap.Gal4 wing with all
bristles missing from the proximal anterior wing margin (arrowhead). A distal
portion of the anterior wing margin, indicated by the black bar, is shown at
higher magnification in B,C. (B) Dorsal view: the row of stout mechanosensory
bristles appears in a roughly wild-type pattern with occasional gaps. The row
of widely spaced chemosensory bristles shows considerable irregularity in
spacing, with some bristles displaced dorsally. (C) Ventral view: the row of
alternating chemosensory and thin mechanosensory bristles is disorganized and
numerous thin mechanosensory bristles are present in a region ventral to their
normal location.
