Mean percentage of cells scored as multinucleate in embryos in the indicated stage of the indicated genotypes. For raw data used to generate this table see Additional file 3: Table S2. Examples of cells scored as multinucleate during dorsal closure are indicated in Fig. 6 by green asterixis. Examples of cells scored as multinucleate during cellularization are indicated in Fig. 4 by red arrows
