Comparison of rhabdomere size in lqfR− and InR− single and double mutants. (A) A box plot comparing rhabdomere sizes in lqfRΔ117, InR339, and lqfRΔ117 InR339 cells. lqfR is lqfRΔ117, and InR is InR339. Each ommatidium mosaic for wild-type and mutant R-cells provided a single data point, which was calculated as the average size of the mutant rhabdomeres divided by the average size of the wild-type rhabdomeres (R1–R6 only). The boxes represent the values corresponding to 50% of the data points, and the line within each box is the median. The lines above and below each box extend to the highest and lowest data points. (n = the number of mosaic facets scored, ***=p<0.001 by 1-way ANOVA) (B–D) Sections of adult eyes containing facets mosaic for wild-type R-cells and R-cells of the indicated genotypes, that serve as examples of the raw data used to generate the graph in (A). Genetically wild-type R-cells are marked by the presence of pigment granules that appear as black puncta (arrow in (D)). Dots indicate genetically mutant rhabdomeres in mosaic facets, and facets composed of all mutant R-cells are circled. Genotypes are: (B) ey-flp; FRT82B lqfRΔ117/FRT82B Pw+; (C) ey-flp; FRT82B InR339/FRT82B Pw+; (C) ey-flp; FRT82B InR339 lqfRΔ117/FRT82B Pw+.
