Figure 8. Predictions and experimental verification of flows in rounded embryos.
A) A wild-type and a round embryo are shown in the lower/upper panels, respectively. Mutants are generated by using a knockdown of Fat2 (Fat2 RNAi), a major regulator of the elongation of the egg chamber. Panels B) and C) show the ratio between the embryo-averaged longitudinal and transverse sol speeds and the embryo-averaged sol speed, respectively, time-averaged over CC6. Simulation/experimental data are shown in blue circles/red squares, respectively. Error bars represent the standard deviation of the space averages during CC6.
