Fig 3. Yki tunes the extent of polyploization post injury.
Spatial distrubution and ploidy values (as indicated by color code) of fly abdominal epidermal nuclei expressing ykiOE or ykiRNAi (A and C) Uninjured and (B and D) 3d post injury, respectively. Nuclei not determined (ND, gray). Scale bar, 50μm. (E) Ploidy (%) distribution in uninjured (-) and 3d post injury (+) in indicate fly genotypes. (F) Average epidermal ploidy and nuclear density versus distance from the wound center or image center in ctrl in the indicated conditions. (G) Epidermal nuclear number significantly declines 3 days post injury, except when yki is overexpressed in fly epidermis. (H) Total tissue ploidy is altered by yki expression. (E-H) All analysis was preformed with at least 2 uninjured and 3 injured flies for each condition. Error bars represent standard deviation where **p<0.01 and n.s., not significant (p>0.05) are based on two-tailed Student's t test.
