Figure 4

Relationship between a subset of larval dendritic arborization (da) neurons and the adult ddaD-v'ada. (A) A simplified version of Figure 1B that highlights the five da neurons that survived metamorphosis (yellow diamonds). (B-K) Images of MARCM clones identified in third instar larvae (B-H) and of adult da neurons in the same hemisegments of the same animals that had generated the clones (G-K). Pairs of the larval and adult clones are shown side-by-side. Segments that produced clones were A4, A3, A2, A3, and A5 from the top. Genotypes of the clones: FRT19A/FRT19A; Gal4109(2)80UAS-mCD8::GFP/+ (C-F, H-K) or Gal4elav[C155]UAS-mCD8::GFP hsflp/+; FRTG13 L Sp/FRTG13 L Sp (B, G). Images in (H, J, K) were acquired in 3- to 7-day-old adults, whereas those in (G, I) were of 0- to 12-hour-old adults. sp, spiracle. (L-P) Tracings of (G-K). Arrows point to cell bodies. Note that the adult da neurons (G-P) are shown with various scales and that ddaC (H, M) and v'ada (K, P) formed much more expansive arbors than the other neurons. Scale bars: 50 μm.
