Fig. 2. Ice is required for normal pupal development. (A) The
percent viability to adulthood for wandering third instar larvae of several
different genotypes is shown: wild type,

(B-G) Paraffin sections of pupae aged 24 hours after puparium formation
(apf). (B) In control pupae, salivary glands and larval muscle have both
disappeared and the larval mid-gut has degenerated, as previously described
(Lee and Baehrecke, 2001). (C)
Seventy-three percent of Ice
1
pupae develop normally. By 24 hours apf, only a few remaining small degraded
fragments of salivary glands and larval muscles are observed and the mid-gut
is normal. (D) Twenty-seven percent of
Ice
1 pupae were arrested in
development. Of those that arrested, one-third did not undergo head eversion
and arrested prior to the commencement of salivary gland cell death. The
remaining pupae appear to have arrested 1 or 2 hours after head eversion, and
thus the salivary glands and larval muscle are not degraded, and the larval
gut has failed to condense properly.
Ice
1 pupae have abnormal masses
in the head (C,E), wing and leg discs (C,F), and abdomen (G). Arrows indicate
abnormal masses; arrowheads indicate muscle; red circles are placed around
salivary glands, salivary gland fragments and regions where degraded salivary
glands would be if they had failed to die. Animals homozygous for
Ice
1 lack zygotic but not
maternal Ice. Scale bars: 200 µm in B-D; 40 µm in E-G.
