Knockdown of Pnt in Ase− imINPs increases the number of type II NBs. (A-A″,C-C″) Wild-type type II NB lineages labeled with mCD8-GFP driven by erm-GAL4(III) (A-A″) or erm-GAL4(II) (C-C″). Arrows, type II NBs. (B-B″) Knockdown of Pnt by erm-GAL4(III) does not lead to the generation of extra type II NBs (arrows). (D-D″′) Knockdown of Pnt by erm-GAL4(II) results in an increased number of type II NBs (arrows). (D″′) An enlarged view of the boxed area in D. (E) Quantification of total numbers of type II NBs. **P<0.01. Scale bars: 20 μm.
