Fig. 2. Ubx controls the expression of Dpp targets.
(A-B'') omb-lacZ (in red) and En (in green)
expression in wing (A-A'') and haltere (B-B'') imaginal discs. A and
P stand for anterior and posterior compartments, respectively. In
bx3/TM2 (C-C'') and pbx/TM2
(D-D'') haltere discs the omb expression extends
significantly in the anterior (C) and posterior (D) compartments,
respectively. Arrowheads in A-D mark the A/P boundary. (E-F'')
Ubx mutant clones, marked by the absence of GFP expression (in green)
and showing omb-lacZ expression (in red). Note in E' the
extended expression of omb in Ubx- cells (arrow).
In F-F'' there are three types of clones: a clone far from the A/P
boundary does not activate omb (asterisk in F); clones closer to this
boundary show extended omb expression (arrowhead in F and F',
posterior clone), and another clone (arrow in F, anterior clone) activates
omb also outside the clone (the arrow in F' points to
non-cell-autonomous omb expression). Merged images in E'' and
F''.
