Ultrastructure of mitochondria in lopo1. Third instar larval midgut tissue from wild-type (A) and lopo1 (B and C) is shown. lopo1 mutants show at least equal numbers of mitochondria as compared with wild type. The morphology of mutant mitochondria is normal (B) except for a few degenerating mitochondria (arrows). However, some cells (C) show an extremely high number of degenerating mitochondria. L, gut lumen; N, nucleus; mv, microvilli.
