Figure 3. aub, me31B, eIF4A and TER94 mutations interact genetically with vas and tud.

Figure 3

Embryos (stage 10) were collected from females of the indicated genotype, stained with anti-VAS, and pole cells were counted. n represents the total number of embryos scored per genotype, and the bar graphs show the average number of pole cells and standard error. Females heterozygous for aub, me31B, eIF4A, or TER94 and either vasPH165 or tudtux46 produce embryos with significantly fewer pole cells than wild type or females heterozygous for only a single mutation. The differences between singly heterozygous females and transheterozygous combinations with vasPH165 or tudtux46 are statistically significant as determined by Student t-test (all p values < 0.001).
