(A) Stills from movies of Toll-6,8 mutant embryos that express Toll-2WT, Toll-2C2YF, or no Toll-2 from the endogenous locus and Spider–GFP (0 min, onset of axis elongation). Cell intercalation is reduced in Toll-2C2YF,6,8 and Toll-2null,6,8 embryos. (B) Axis elongation (tissue AP length relative to t=0) is reduced in Toll-2C2YF,6,8 and Toll-2null,6,8 embryos compared with Toll-2WT,6,8 (p<0.03 at t=30 min). (C) Intercalation errors are increased in Toll-2C2YF,6,8 and Toll-2null,6,8 embryos compared with Toll-2WT,6,8. (D) Model of Toll receptor signaling. Mean±SEM, 4–9 living stage 7–8 embryos/genotype, **p≤0.007, Welch’s t-test. Anterior left, ventral down. Bar, 10 μm.
