Figure 6. Higher expression of Abd-B suppresses abd-A expression in A7.

Figure 6

A) Wild type abdominal epithelia show very low expression of Abd-A in A7 in comparison to A5 and A6. The Fab-71 mutant show loss of abd-A in both A6 and A7 segment while in the case of Abd-B RNAi using esg-Gal4 we observed derepression of Abd-A expression only in HNCs of A7 segment (arrow). B) Cuticle preparations of adult flies show loss of A6 segment in Fab-71 mutant (middle panel) and homeotic transformation of A5, A6 and A7 into anterior segments on Abd-B RNAi with esg-Gal4.
