Fig. 3. Phenotype and Abd-B and lacZ expression of class I
derivatives. (A) Posterior abdominal segments of an
Abd-BT2N/DfP9 male (Abd-BT2N is a
class I derivative), showing the transformation of the A7 and A8 segments.
Note the large size of the A7 (absent in wild-type males) and the small A8. G,
male genitalia. (B) Abd-B protein expression (violet/black) and
ß-galactosidase expression (orange) in a stage 10
Abd-BT2N homozygous embryo. While Abd-B
expression is confined to PS14 (Abd-B R protein), ß-galactosidase signal
is strong in PS13. Numbers indicate PS.
