Figure 7. Asymmetric division of NBs.

Figure 7

(A) Schematic cross section of the neurectoderm showing NBs before, during and after delamination. (B) Time course of the first mitosis of a NB after delamination. Note that spindle rotation (compare second and third panel from the top) does only occur in the first mitosis after delamination, but not in subsequent mitoses. (C) Interactions between the cortex and astral microtubules. For details see text. Color coding of protein complexes is the same for all three panels.
