^*P < 0.05, ** P < 0.001, *** P < 0.0001. ND, not determined.

^aCell number is inferred by the number of Hoescht-stained nuclei.

^bMean 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.

^cMean 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.

^dStatistics indicate difference between SJ mutant and w¹¹¹⁸ at the same stage of development.
