Cuticle phenotypes and in situ stainings. A, B Cuticle autofluorescence images of a wildtype 1st instar larva (A) and two larvae homozygous for a transposon insertion into the first exon of the Tc-cycD gene. Reduced cell proliferation results in smaller embryos with shortened thoracic appendages (B). (C, D) Hybridization chain reaction staining of the pair rule genes Tc-runt and Tc-odd-skipped together with Tc-wingless as segmental marker in an elongating germ band (C) and of Tc-odd-skipped in the embryonic legs (D). Anterior is up in all panels. The larva in (A) is 1.4 mm in length, the embryo in (C) is 0.87 mm long. Image (C) by Felix Kaufholz, (D) by Christine Zellner
