Fig. 1. Salivary gland cells fragment as they die. (A) Twelve hour apf salivary
glands have large vacuoles (asterisks) and nuclei (arrows). (B) Vacuoles
(asterisks) are smaller in salivary glands of 14 hour apf animals, and nuclei
(arrows) begin to separate from the cytoplasm. (C-E) Salivary glands rapidly
degenerate 14.5 hours to 15 hours apf. (C,D) Nuclei (arrows) and cytoplasm of
salivary glands separate 14.5 hours apf, and fragments of cytoplasm (enclosed
in circle) are present. (E) By 15 hours apf, fragments of cellular debris are
scattered throughout the area that was occupied by salivary glands. All images
are at the same magnification.
