Fig. 3. Short Oskimm controls polar granule morphology. Polar
granule and nuclear body morphology in gastrulating embryos revealed by
GFP-Aub (green) and immunostaining for Osk (red). Embryos are from otherwise
wild-type mothers bearing a single copy of the following transgenes:
(A)
P[oskimm3'mel];
(B)
P[M1L-oskimm3'mel],
(C)
P[M103L-oskimm3'mel];
(D)
P[M103,106L-oskimm3'mel].
Polar granule morphology is shifted towards the D. immigrans type in
A-C, but not D. Although there are spherical bodies in A-C, they are all in
nuclei (i.e. nuclear bodies), and the cytoplasmic polar granules are not
spherical. Scale bar: 5 µm.
