From: Drosophila olfactory local interneurons and projection neurons derive from a common neuroblast lineage specified by the empty spiracles gene

Figure 2

Local interneurons (LNs) arise from the lateral neuroblast (lNb) lineage. (A) The entire lNb clone is visualised by Tub-LexA::GAD; LexAop-rCD2GFP (A1). (A2) The same cluster includes all GAL4-LN2 marked cells. In the merge (A3) the entire lateral cluster is encircled by a white dotted line and the higher centre projections of the PNs from the lateral cluster are indicated by arrowheads. D, dorsal; L, lateral. (B) Higher magnification images of single section of the cells in (A) showing Tub-LexA::GAD; LexAop-rCD2::GFP cells within a Nb clone (B1). The clone also contains GAL4-LN2 expressing cells (B2) marked with blue asterisks. Some cells were not labeled by GAL4-LN2 (shown by yellow asterisks). Scale bars, 10 μm. Genotype: GAL4-LN2/Tub-LexA::GAD; FRTG13, hsFLP, Tub-GAL80/FRTG13, UAS-mCD8, LexA-oprCD2::GFP.
