Fig. 2. bowl is required specifically at the margin for retinal
triggering and hh expression. Clones are marked by the absence of
GFP (A-E) or CD2 (F). (A-E) bowl- clones spanning
the posterior margin. (A, inset in B) Defective retinal initiation is
associated with bowl- mutant margin (arrow). Retinal
initiation is partially rescued non-autonomously by neighboring tissue (clone
outlined in B). (C,C') bowl- clone spanning the
margin loses hh-Z autonomously (arrow; clone outlined in C').
(D,D') The expression of Ptc is also reduced in a
bowl- clone (arrow). (E,E') Internal
bowl- clone abutting, but not including, the margin
develops retina normally (clone outlined in E'). The hh-Z
margin expression (arrow) is normal. (F,F')
lines-expressing clone at the margin resembles loss of bowl,
causing loss of margin hh-Z and retinal failure (arrow). The
hh-Z ocellar expression is not affected (asterisk). Discs are
oriented with posterior towards the right and dorsal upwards.
