Fig. 3. Keyhole formation is disrupted in kropf P mutants. (A,B) Wild-type
embryos stained with anti-Wingless antibody. (C,D) Magnifications of the
keyhole region shown in A,B. (A) Stage 14 embryo. Note the striped Wingless
expression domain prior to keyhole formation (arrow; magnification in C). (B)
Stage 15 embryo. Note that the Wingless expression domain is split (arrow;
magnification in D). (E,F) Anti-Wingless antibody staining of kropf
mutant embryos. (E) Stage 14 embryo. Note that the striped Wingless expression
domain is not affect in kropf mutants (magnification in G) when
compared with wild type. (F) Stage 15 embryo. Note that the Wingless
expression domain fails to split (arrow; magnification in H). (I,J) Confocal
images of anti-Fkh (green)/anti-Dve (red) staining of stage 17 wild-type (I)
and kropf mutant embryos (J). Although in wild type, the ectodermal
cells (ec) have invaginated into the endodermal proventriculus pouch, the
ectodermal cells are stuck on top of the endoderm in kropf P mutants
(compare with the larval phenotype in Fig.
2D).
