Fig. 11. Genetic interaction between drl and Wnt5 during MB
development in Drosophila. Different genotypes were assessed for
the production of a drl-like phenotype. MB morphology was assessed
using the anti-FASII antibody. These results indicate that reduced expression
of lio+/drl+ associated with overexpression of
Wnt5+ gradually leads to a drl-like phenotype.
