Dystroglycan and Mitochondrial Ribosomal Protein L34 Regulate Differentiation in the Drosophila Eye

Figure 2

Dg mutants have thin retinas.

(A, B) Transverse retinal sections of adult eyes stained with F-actin to highlight the R cell rhabdomeres. The retina of Dg^O55/Dg^O43 (B) is thinner than wild type (A) and R cells are obviously shorter. (C) Chart shows mean rhabdomere lengths in wild type and Dg mutants (wild type n = 30; Dg^O55/Dg^O55 n = 51; Dg^O38/Dg^O86 n = 23; Dg^O38/Dg^O43 n = 14). Scale bars in (A) represents 75 µm.
