Figure 5

Furrows are formed by uneven growth of the horn primordia epithelial cell sheet (a). Developmental time window of the larval-pupal transformation in Trypoxylus dichotomus. During approximately eight days of the prepupal period, the horn primordia develops. (b) Schematic diagram of a frontal section of the horn primordia shown in (c,f,i and l). (c,f,i,l) Frontal section of the whole prepupal head (black bar represents 5 mm). (d,g,j,m) Magnified image of the windows in (c,f,i and l), respectively. (e,h,k,n) Horn primordia surfaces are manually traced from (d,g,j and m), respectively. Note that the major furrow, which starts to be formed at prepupal day 3 (fh), grows deeper and is branched (ik).
