We present a new method for marking single cells and tracing their development through embryogenesis. Cells are labelled with a lipophilic fluorescent tracer (DiI) in their normal positions without impaling their membranes. The dye does not diffuse between cells but is transferred to the progeny, disclosing their morphology in all detail. Behaviour of labelled cells can be observed in vivo (cell divisions, morphogenetic movements and differentiation). Following photoconversion of the dye, fully differentiated clones can be analyzed in permanent preparations. We apply this method for cell lineage analysis of the embryonic Drosophila CNS. Here we describe the fate of the CNS midline cells. We present the complete lineages of these cells in the fully differentiated embryo and show that variability exists in segmental numbers of the midline progenitors as well as in the composition of their lineages.
