Figure 6. Clones expressing the stripe gene block L2 and L3 denticle formation.
(A–A’’) Two clones (labelled with cherry::moesin and Cd8::GFP) in adjacent segments in one individual make denticles in pre-L1 but no denticles in L3. The B isoform of sr is expressed in these clones which are found in the row 3 of the fourth and the row 4 of the fifth abdominal segments. (B–B’) One clone expressing the A isoform of sr in the embryo makes denticles in rows 2 to 4 of the sixth abdominal segment, but makes no denticles in the larva. The denticle rows are disturbed in this case.
