Figure 6. Effect of Cyclin E expression on nucleolus size.

Figure 6

Nucleolous size over time. Data shown are mean and standard deviations of the average nucleolus size from each Zone, normalized to Zone 1 from the same eye disc. Statistical significance between samples: *, p<0.05; **, p<0.01; ***, p<0.001. A. Blue - cells with apical nuclei in GMR-Gal4/+; Green - cells with basal nuclei in GMR-Gal4/+ (same data as in Figure 5A). Nucleoli from unspecified cells with basal nuclei were significantly larger in Zones 6–9. B. Brown - cells with apical nuclei in GMR-Gal4 UAS-CycE/+; Gray - cells with basal nuclei in GMR-Gal4 UAS-CycD UAS-CycE/+. No significant differences were seen between nucleoli from unspecified cells with basal nuclei and nucleoli from differentiating cells with apical nuclei. C. Comparison of apical nucleoli from GMR-Gal4/+ (blue) and GMR-Gal4 UAS-CycE/+ (brown). No significant differences were noted. D. Comparison of basal nucleoli from GMR-Gal4/+ (green) and GMR-Gal4 UAS-CycE/+ (gray). From Zone 6 onwards nucleoli were smaller in GMR-Gal4 UAS-CycE/+ and this was statistically significant in Zone 8.
