Fig. 9. MB defects of Drosophila Wnt5 LOF mutants are rescued by
Wnt5+ expression in the MBs. (A-C) Composite
confocal images of MB phenotypes visualized with the GAL4-c739 line
combined with UAS-mCD8-GFP. (A) In the Wnt5 null mutation,
there is a complete arrest of axonal growth at the level of the peduncle,
although Kenyon cells appear to be unaffected. The genotype is
Wnt5400/Y; GAL4-c739 UAS-mCD8-GFP/+. B (excluding
Kenyon cells) and C (including Kenyon cells) are images from the same brain
and show a complete rescue of the MB mutant phenotype. The genotype is
Wnt5400/Y; GAL4-c739 UAS-mCD8-GFP/+;
UAS-Wnt5+/+.
