Conserved and novel aspects of WntA function in Painted Lady butterflies. (A and B) WntA mKOs in V. cardui result in defects or loss of the CSS, highlighted in cyan in B. (C and D) WntA forewing expression is associated with the CSS (magnified in D) and the MBS in WT fifth instar wing disks. (E) Blow-up of a CSS section showing pattern disruption upon WntA mKO. (F and G) WntA hindwing expression in the CSS and the MBS (magnified in G; pt, peripheral tissue) in WT fifth instar wing disks. (H) WntA mKO results in distal shifts of dPf elements. (I) Blow-up of WntA expression in the hindwing CSS. (J) Magnification of intermediate and severe levels of CSS reduction observed upon WntA mKO. (K) WntA expression as observed in the presumptive forewing eyespots in late fifth instar wing disks of V. cardui. (L and M) Reduction of dorsal forewing eyespots following WntA mKO. (N) Color change in ventral mKO forewing eyespots.
