Figure 6. The exocyst is required for salivary gland degradation.

• A, B
  Control animals (+/w; UAS‐sec5 ^IR/+, n = 19) and those with salivary gland‐specific knockdown of sec5 (fkh‐GAL4/w; UAS‐sec5 ^IR/+, n = 20) were analyzed by histology for the presence of salivary gland material (red dotted circle) 24 h after puparium formation. Quantification of the data is shown in (B).
• C, D
  Control animals (+/w; UAS‐sec15 ^IR/+, n = 20) and those with salivary gland‐specific expression sec15 (fkh‐GAL4/w; UAS‐sec15 ^IR/+, n = 20) were analyzed by histology for the presence of salivary gland material (red dotted circle) 24 h after puparium formation. Quantification of the data is shown in (D).
• E, F
  Control animals (+/w; UAS‐sec3 ^IR/+, n = 20) and those with salivary gland‐specific expression sec3 (fkh‐GAL4/w; UAS‐sec3 ^IR/+, n = 20) were analyzed by histology for the presence of salivary gland material (red dotted circle) 24 h after puparium formation. Quantification of the data is shown in (F).
• G, H
  Control animals (+/w; UAS‐sec8 ^IR/+, n = 20) and those with salivary gland‐specific knockdown of sec8 (fkh‐GAL4/w; UAS‐sec8 ^IR/+, n = 19) were analyzed by histology for the presence of salivary gland material (red dotted circle) 24 h after puparium formation. Quantification of the data is shown in (H).
• I, J
  Control animals (+/w; UAS‐exo84 ^IR/+, n = 19) and those with salivary gland‐specific knockdown of exo84 (fkh‐GAL4/w; UAS‐exo84 ^IR/+, n = 20) were analyzed by histology for the presence of salivary gland material (red dotted circle) 24 h after puparium formation. Quantification of the data is shown in (J).
