Figure 4: Terminal cells mutant for sprout are reduced in size but not branch complexity.

Figure 4:

A) A mosaic larva with a sprout terminal cell clone (green) is shown; the branch tips for the sprout mutant and contralateral control terminal cell are enumerated (21 and 25, respectively). In B-C), control and sprout clones, respectively, in the dorsal trunk are shown. Note that in A and C, DsRed counterstains all tracheal cells, while in B and D DsRednls is employed in the same capacity. In D and D’ compare the similar size of sprout and heterozygous control terminal cell nuclei (> points to terminal cell nuclei); this is in contrast to staining in terminal cells where endoreplication is blocked. Scale bars = 50 microns. Bar for A, B and C, shown in C, for D and D; shown in D’.
