Fig. 6. Da is able to induce pI formation in the absence of Sens function.
(A) A MARCM da3 clone that overexpresses
sens using tub-GAL4. Note the absence of microchaetae in the
mutant clone (the closed line in the close-up view), which is marked by
crinkled. (B,C) Low (B) and high (C) magnification
views of two MARCM clones of sensE2 that overexpress
da using tub-GAL4. No microchaetae are formed in the clone,
which is marked by mwh. (D-D'') Overexpression of
da in a MARCM sens clone in the thorax using
tub-GAL4 results in the generation of numerous additional
Elav+ cells (red), often clustered. Note that the neurons are
usually well spaced in the wild-type tissue. The image is from a 36-hour APF
pupa. GFP (blue) marks the nuclei of the sens mutant cells.
