Figure 2. EGF signaling from the germline to the soma decreases the frequency of GSC divisions.

Figure 2

(A–C) The percentage of pHH3-positive GSCs for each indicated genotype. (A) The expression of s-spi in germ cells rescues the hyper-proliferation of GSCs in spi77-20 testes. (B) GSCs in stet1/stet3 testes showed an increased M-phase index compared to w1118 testes. (C) RNAi-mediated knock-down of EGFR in the soma causes a higher GSC M-phase index, ***p-value≤0.0001.
