Histone removal during spermiogenesis. In all panels, DNA is grey, green is pan histones, and red is H3K9me3. (A) Testis from a yellow-black male pupa. (B) A cyst of dividing germ cells located toward the testisā anterior end. The chromatin of these cystocytes contains histones and H3K9me3. (C) A group of individualizing spermatids showing reduced levels of histones and H3K9me3 in small regions in each spermatid. (D) Individualized sperm, showing no traces of histones and H3K9me3. Scale bar in (A) is 75āĪ¼m.
