Figure 1

HP1 is required for correct ovarian development. (a) Wild type ovariole stained for DNA (red) and HP1 (green). Arrows indicate HP1 concentrated at domains of constitutive heterochromatin. Karyosome is identified by a white dashed circle. Dashed box is magnified in the right panel. (b,c) HP1 depleted ovaries stained for Vasa (green) and DNA (red). All ovarioles show an altered ovarian morphology, consisting in germaria completely empty (b) or germaria with only few germ cells (c). (d) Developing wild-type ovaries obtained from newly eclosed females stained for Vasa (green) and DNA (red).
