Cell number is inferred by the number of Hoescht-stained nuclei.
Mean plus standard deviation of nuclei number surrounding lumen of SG at three evenly spaced positions along the proximal distal axis of the gland. n = 3 different glands.
Mean plus standard deviation of nuclei number surrounding lumen of SG at three evenly spaced positions along the proximal distal axis of the gland. n = 10 different glands.
Statistics indicate difference between SJ mutant and w1118 at the same stage of development.
