Attractive internuclear force drives the collective behavior of nuclear arrays in Drosophila embryos
Fig 5
3D simulation results of the embryos with varied start time of metaphase at two poles (Fa force assumption).
(A) The linear relation between the position of the second node of the standing wave of AP nuclear speed and the division time difference between the anterior and posterior poles of experimental (red) and simulation (black) data. (B) The density ratio of the simulation data with different AP division time difference. Boxplots (whisker, min/max values, boxes, 25/75 percentiles). The medians of the four group data in the panel are 0.51, 0.50, 0.47 and 0.46, respectively. (C) The representative characteristic features of the collective motion pattern and packing pattern of the nuclear array in the simulations with different AP division time difference. The force field used in this simulation is shown in S16A Fig.
