Fig. 1. Fibre formation and the cellular processes involved during DLM development. (A) The DLM develop by fusion of myoblasts to the remnants of larval oblique muscles (LOM). (B) The LOM escape complete histolysis to serve as templates (TEM). (C) The IFM elongate by myoblast fusion, attach to the tendon cells (TC). (D) Following a fibre shortening, myofibrillogenesis begins. (E) The interdigitating region of tendon and muscle processes (TCM) retract as the muscles increase in length and size until (F) functional myofibres are formed. Anterior is to the right and dorsal to the top. Not to scale.
