Fig. 5. The loss of one or both systems leads to different adult and larval
phenotypes. (A-D) ds- tergites have a whorly
central area but the bristle pattern is near normal (A), whereas (C)
stan- tergites are dishevelled at the front and back in
the A compartment, but near normal elsewhere. (B) In ds-
stan- tergites, both the hairs and bristles are dishevelled
everywhere. (D) A normal cuticle is shown for comparison. (E-H) In the
3rd instar larvae, ds- have disturbed hairs in the
anterior rows of the ventral denticles, but the most posterior rows 5 and 6
are normal (E). The stan- larval denticle pattern (G), as
far as we can see [compare with Price et al.
(Price et al., 2006)] is like
wild type (H), whereas the ds- stan- larvae (F)
show randomised polarity. Note, for A-D, adult cuticles were mounted without
squashing in order to preserve bristle orientation in its native state.
