Fig. 2. L(1)sc is expressed in medial edge of the NE and can induce medulla NB
differentiation. (A-F') L(1)sc is expressed in the
medial edge of NE cells. Early (A,B), mid (C,D) and late (E,F) stages are
shown. (A,C,E) Lateral view. Expression of L(1)sc (green), Dpn (magenta) and
Dac (white) are shown. Broken white line in A indicates the border between
optic lobe and central brain. (B,D,F) Horizontal section. Expression of L(1)sc
(green), Dpn (magenta) and tkv-lacZ (blue) are shown. White
arrowheads show cells expressing L(1)sc. (B',D',F') L(1)sc
expression in B,D,F. (G) Schematics of the horizontal section as in
Fig. 1C. L(1)sc-expressing
cells (green) and `proneural wave' (green arrow) are shown. (H-M)
Uniform and premature NB differentiation associated with ectopic
l(1)sc expression driven by NP6099 Gal4. Early (H,K), mid
(I,L) and late (J,M) stages are shown. NBs are marked by Dpn (magenta) and
neurons by Elav (blue). Broken white lines indicate the border between optic
lobe and central brain.
