Loss of flfl Triggers JNK-Dependent Cell Death in Drosophila

Figure 1

flfl suppress Egr-induced cell death in Drosophila eye. Light micrographs of Drosophila eyes are shown. Compared with the GMR-Gal4 control (a), GMR > Egr triggered cell death and produced a small eye phenotype (c), which was suppressed by expressing flfl (e) but not GFP (d). Expression of flfl produced no noticeable phenotype (b). Genotypes: GMR-Gal4/+ (a); GMR-Gal4/flfl^EY03585 (b); UAS-Egr/+; GMR-Gal4/+ (c); UAS-Egr/UAS-GFP; GMR-Gal4/+ (d); UAS-Egr/+; GMR-Gal4/flfl^EY03585 (e).
