Tracheal requirements of wg and/or
DWnt2. (A–C) Lateral
views of embryos at late stages of embryogenesis stained with mAb2A12
to highlight the lumen of the tracheae. (A and
B)
wg−DWnt2−
double mutants, the DT is missing (A) or very much
reduced (arrow in B). The arrowhead in A
points to an incomplete VB. (C) DWnt2
combination, no tracheal defects are observed. Arrow points to DT.
(D–I) Sal distribution at stages 12
(D–F) and 14/15
(G–I) in lateral views of embryos of the
indicated genotypes. Note the absence of Sal in
wg−DWnt2−
mutants (E, H, and Insets)
as compared with WT (D, G, and
Insets). Low levels of Sal still are observed in
wg− mutants (F,
I, and Insets). (J and
K) dpp expression at stage 11 in lateral
views of embryos of the indicated genotypes. (L and
M) Kni distribution at stage 14/15 in lateral views of
embryos of the indicated genotypes.
