Phenotype and appendage morphology of the wild type and Wes mutant. (a) Eye-spot of +Wes/+Wes. Bar=1 cm. The arrowhead indicates the eye-spot. (b) Head of the Dazao embryo. Bar=200 μm. (c) Antenna of Dazao. Bar=50 μm. (d) Eye-spot of Wes/+Wes. Bar=1 cm. The arrowhead indicates the eye-spot. (e) Head of the Wes/Wes embryo. Bar=200 μm. The arrowhead indicates the antennae-like appendages. (f) Enlargement of the antennae-like appendages in (e). Bar=50 μm. (g) Thoracic segments of the Dazao embryo. Bar=500 μm. (h) Enlargement of the same embryo in (g). Bar=100 μm. (i) Enlargement of the thoracic leg on T1. Bar=100 μm. (j) Thorax of the Wes/Wes embryo. Bar=300 μm.
