Fig. 4. sage is expressed specifically in the salivary gland and its
later expression requires Fkh. (A) sage was detected in
the salivary glands of wild-type embryos beginning at the placode stage
through the end of embryogenesis. (B) sage expression after
stage 12 was absent in fkh mutants. Compare staining indicated by
arrows in left panels in the fkh heterozygotes, which also show
lacZ expression from the TM3 Ubx-lacZ balancer chromosome
(a-c), with staining indicated by arrows in the fkh mutants in the
right panels (d-f). Salivary glands do not invaginate in fkh mutants
(d-f).
