From: Targeted Downregulation of s36 Protein Unearths its Cardinal Role in Chorion Biogenesis and Architecture during Drosophila melanogaster Oogenesis

Figure 2

The s36 chorionic protein controls the development of regionally specialized structures of Drosophila melanogaster eggshell.

(A,B) Light microscopy images of representative control (c355-GAL4/+) (A) and s36-targeted (c355 > s36_RNAi) (B) follicles. (C–H) Scanning electron microscopy images of representative control (C–E) and s36-depleted (F–H) follicles. (C,F) Far-off view of follicle’s general morphology. (D,G) Follicle’s anterior-end architecture. (E,H) Follicle’s posterior-end structure. DA: Dorsal Appendages, O: Operculum, M: Micropyle, C: Collar and A: Aeropyle. Scale Bars: 50 μm.
