4–5 day old embryos were stained with anti-HRP and anti-TcFasII and abdominal segments were scored for defects in midline repulsion and longitudinal pathway formation. Percentage of segments or hemisegments displaying each phenotype are shown.

a

n = number of segments/number of embryos scored.

b

n = number of hemisegments/number of embryos scored.

c

hemisegments were scored as “medial shift” if axons could be seen transitioning from lateral to intermediate pathways within the hemisegment.
