a Distribution of germ cells and somatic cells in the apex of the testis in the control and nos>RpL6 RNA interference (RNAi) flies. b Distribution of germ cells and somatic cells in the apex of the testis in the control and tj>RpL6 RNAi flies. c Distribution of germ cells and somatic cells in the apex of testis in control and tj>RpL6 RNAi flies. Immunostaining using anti-Vasa (green in a, b), anti-Eya (red in a, b; green in c), anti-DE-cad (blue in a, b), anti-Zfh1 (red in c), and Hoechst-33342 (gray in c). Scale bar: 50 μm
