Fig. 8. Signaling activity of Hh-GFP, HhN-GFP and Hhc85s-GFP in cells lacking
tout-velu function and simultaneously expressing Hh. (A-D)
Wing imaginal discs with clones mutant for ttv that also express
wild-type Hh ectopically. All clones in the anterior compartment shown in the
figure are located outside the expression domain of the different target genes
tested. Clones are marked with GFP (A-D) and outlined with a red line
(A'-D'). The discs are stained for different Hh targets (red): En
(A,A'), Ptc (B,B'), Iro (C,C') and Ci (D,D').
(E) The results of the clone analysis. Hh triggers the response of
low-threshold responses (Ci and Iro) in ttv- cells, while
failing to activate high-threshold response genes (Ptc, En and Col) apart from
the first row of cells within the clone.
