trn expression expands in the clasper primordia upon h RNAi knockdown in D. melanogaster. (A) A schematic of genital development based on DAPI at stage 5 (Hagen et al. 2019). (B) h mRNA in situ hybridization in D. melanogaster w1118. (C) trn mRNA in situ hybridization on UAS parental control and (D) trn mRNA in situ hybridization upon h RNAi knockdown at stage 5. Both trn in situ hybridizations were carried out in parallel and allowed to develop for the same length of time. h RNAi results in a distortion of trn expression at the base of the claspers compared with the UAS control (black arrows). CL, claspers; A, aedeagus. N = 5 for each experiment.
