Fig. 6. Rescue of selD^ptuf clone size by DIAP1 overexpression. selD^ptuf clones were induced in the posterior DIAP1 expressing compartment and in the anterior compartment of the wing pouch. Bars represent mean values of the area of selD^ptuf clones as a percentage of the area of their wild-type selD⁺ twin clone±s.d., n=number of mutant and wild-type twin clone pairs analyzed in the anterior and posterior compartment. Overexpression of DIAP1 in the posterior compartment almost doubled selD^ptuf clonal size. Mean area of anterior and posterior selD^ptuf clones, 34% and 58% of their wild-type twin clone respectively, were significantly different (t-test: P<0.001).
