Figure 2. Wnd mediates the functions of Hiw on dendritic growth.

Figure 2

(A) Loss of wnd blocks dendrite reduction in hiw mutants, and ectopic Wnd restrains dendritic growth. Shown are representative dendrites of ddaC neurons, labeled by ppk-CD4::tdTomato, of the following genotypes: (1) wt; (2) hiwΔN homozygotes (hiw); (3) wnd1/wnd3(wnd); (4) hiwΔN; wnd1/wnd3 double mutants (hiw; wnd); (5) overexpressing Wnd by ppkGal4 (OE Wnd); (6) overexpressing a kinase dead form (K188A) of Wnd by ppkGal4 (OE WndKD). Scale bar, 50 µm. (B) Bar charts showing the quantification of total dendrite length (left) and number of dendrite termini (right). Samples of wt and hiwΔN that are used for statistical analysis are the same as those in Figure 1.
