The fate of the progeny from P2, P15, and P17 progenitors in wild-type, inscP49, andnumb3 embryos. Embryos were double stained for Eve (red) and Kr (green). Stage 12 (A–F′) and stage 14 (G–I) wild-type (A,G), inscP49(B–D,H), and nb3(E–F′,I) embryos are shown. (A) Three consecutive wild-type hemisegments at mid- to late-stage 12. At this stage, the two EPC (red) are already present. The Kr+Eve+ FDA1 (yellow) and the Kr+ FDO1 (green) are also evident. (B–D) In inscP49embryos, the incomplete expressivity of the mutant phenotype is evident in different hemisegments and is characterized by duplication of FDO1 (B), loss of the two EPC (C,*), and duplication of the FDA1 (D). (E–F′) The opposite phenotype is found in nb3 embryos: Two FEPCs are detected at early stage 12, which are enlarging to divide (E), and no putative FDA1 and FDO1 are detected that express Eve and/or Kr. At mid-stage 12, extra EPCs are detected (F’). (F,F′) Two different focal planes of the same mutant hemisegment at mid-stage 12. (F) The FDA1 (yellow cells) is losing Eve and Kr expression; likewise, Kr expression is decaying in both siblings produced by division of P17 (arrows). (G) The characteristic pattern of EPC and precursors of DA1 and DO1 in a wild-type embryo at stage 14. (H) In aninscP49 embryo, loss of EPC (*) and duplication of the precursors of muscles DA1 (yellow syncytia, arrows) and DO1 (green syncytia, arrows) are evident. (I) The opposite phenotype is observed in a nb3 embryo; extra EPCs and the absence of DA1 and DO1 muscle precursors.
