Fig. 3. MARCM analysis of ph, using various GAL4 drivers, before and after metamorphosis. Composite confocal images of mosaic brains examined at the wandering larval (WL) (A-H) or adult (I-P) stages. MARCM clones of wild-type or ph mutant neurons were labeled using various GAL4 drivers. (A-D,I-L) In wild type, different GAL4s permit labeling of distinct types of neurons before metamorphosis (A-D), and usually the labeling patterns are preserved at the adult stage (I-L). (E-H) Before metamorphosis, various GAL4 drivers label different clones of ph mutant neurons; distinct ph mutant clones, like their wild-type controls (A-D), acquire different characteristic projection patterns. (M-P) By contrast, at the adult stage, GAL4-OK107 (N) and GAL4-NP225 (O), like the pan-neuronal driver elav-GAL4 (M), labels many clones, while ato-GAL4 is completely suppressed (P). Moreover, without characteristic projection patterns, ph mutant clones are no longer identifiable in adult brains.
