Fig. 2. — Dsx⁺tNB apoptosis in females requires AbdB and occurs through RHG genes grim and reaper. (A) Dsx⁺tNB mutants for AbdB^M1 do not undergo apoptosis in female VNCs (n′=9). (B) exd¹ mutant Dsx⁺tNBs die normally (n′=12). GFP-marked exd¹ mutant lineage expressing Dsx protein and lacking the NB is shown. (C) grim^A6C-rpr¹⁷ double-mutant homozygous female VNCs (n=18) exhibit a block of Dsx⁺tNB apoptosis. (D) Quantification of the Dsx⁺tNBs across various genotypes in the female VNC. n number of VNCs, n′ number of MARCM clones analysed. Yellow arrowheads indicate Dsx⁺tNBs. Scale bars: 10 µm. All images are single confocal sections. Graphs show mean±s.d.
