Mh-slp is expressed in persistent segmental stripes. aMh-slp was observed in the anterior third of an early blastoderm-stage embryo, (16–24 h AEL). b In an embryo slightly older than a, one stripe (arrowhead) of Mh-slp was observed. c Two stripes of Mh-slp were observed in an embryo older than b. d In a later blastoderm-stage embryo, six stripes of Mh-slp were observed. e–hMh-slp expression during germband elongation. Mh-slp is expressed in persistent segmental stripes during germband elongation with expression at the head lobe. Embryos are shown with the anterior to the left, ventral side down
