Fig. 3. dRheb overexpression causes eye and head overgrowth. Combination of GMR-GAL4 (which drives expression in the eye imaginal disc) with dRhebAV4 results in marked overgrowth of the eye (E,F) compared with the wild type (A,B) or driver alone (C,D). Eye and head overgrowth is even more dramatic (G-J) when ey-FLP-induced GAL4-expressing clones overexpress dRheb in dRhebAV4/+ eye and antennal discs. (A,C,E,G,I) Lateral views of eye. (B,D,F,H,J) Frontal views of head. Scanning electron microscopy shows that, compared with the wild-type (K), dRheb-overexpressing eyes have enlarged ommatidia and bristles, as well as irregular and occasionally fused ommatidia and extra bristles (L). Solid arrows, bristles; dashed arrows, extra bristles; black arrowhead, fused ommatidia.
