Fig. 4.
Maturation of microtubule arrays and adherens junctions during pupal development. (A–C) Legs were dissected from P4, EP5, and LP5 dsTcVer-treated (control) pupae for analysis of ultrastructure by TEM. Larger magnifications of the exoskeletal cuticle–ETC junction (D–F), the internal ETC (G–I), and the MTJ between ETC and muscle fiber (J–L). EC, exoskeletal cuticle. Yellow arrows indicate translucent intracuticular fibers.
