Fig. 5. flamingo regulates dendritic extension. (A-C) Larval neuroblast clones homozygous for fmi^MB (A) and fmi^E59 (B) have overextending processes from the calyx (long arrows) that are labeled with Nod-ßgal (C, and high magnification in the inset). (D) Adult fmi^E59 neuroblast clones also have processes that overextend from the calyx (long arrow). In addition, reduction of cell number is evident, as is the lack of the dorsal lobe. (E,F) Clonal expression of UAS-fmi (genotype y,w, hs-FLP, UAS-mCD8-GFP/Y; FRTG13, fmi^E59/FRTG13, tubP-GAL80; UAS-fmi/+; GAL4-OK107/+) rescues the phenotypes of dendritic overextension and cell number reduction in both larva (E) and adult (F).
