Fig. 5. slmb mutant clones cause chorion patterning defects. Eggshells
were visualized by reflected light or dark-field microscopy. (A) Eggs laid by
females with slmb germline clones (right) are often much smaller than
wild-type eggs (left). (B) Wild-type dorsal appendage (DA) pattern. (C-F) Egg
chambers with slmb somatic clones generate eggshells with variable DA
abnormalities, including dorsalized phenotypes (C-E), ramified DA (F),
ventralized phenotypes (G,H), and DA shifted to a more posterior position (I),
reduced (I,J) or absent (K). In cases where DA are shifted posteriorly (I),
the operculum appears enlarged when compared with wild-type eggshells (B); the
limits of the opercula are indicated with broken lines.
