Fig. 6. ptc- en- clones in flies lacking one or
both systems. (A-C) The Hh signal transduction pathway is maximally and
constitutively activated in ptc- en- clones.
Such clones reverse the polarity of hairs behind the clone both in
ds- flies (A) and in stan- flies (C).
However in ds- stan- flies, the
ptc- en- have no discernable (consistent)
effect on the surround (B) compared with A where there is a consistent effect:
the hairs pointing inwards all around the clone. Clones marked with
pwn. Anterior is towards the top, red lines outline the clone and red
arrows indicate the polarity imposed on cells outside the clone.
