Fig. 3. Phenotypic series for Tc'Kr: ventral views of first instar larvae
(confocal image projections based on cuticle autofluorescence). (A,B)
Wild-type first instar larva (A). (B) Enlarged view of the ventral head, with
left maxilla and labium outlined in white. (C-E) Tc'Kr RNAi embryos
of increasing phenotypic strength. (F) Tc'Krjaws mutant
embryo. Appendages resembling maxilla are labelled with arrows, those
resembling labial palps with arrowheads. In some embryos, the urogomphi and
pygopodes, corresponding to the 9th and 10th abdominal segments, respectively,
are also indicated. For detailed phenotypic description see Results. The
embryo in F is at a higher magnification than those in A-E. mx maxilla; lb
