Fig. 7. Pros
6T1 mutant testes show
abnormalities in nuclear bundles. Wild-type or
Pros
6T1 spermatid nuclei stained with
TO-PRO3. (A) Wild-type nuclei are long, fully condensed and remain in
register. (B) Some of the Pros
6T1
nuclei are not fully condensed and they are often scattered. (C)
Spermatid nuclei of the mutant are often contorted and frequently form circles
(arrow). (D) Proportion of normal, scattered and curled spermatid
nuclear bundles in young (black bars) versus old (hatched bars) flies. Scale
bars: 20 µm.
