Phenotypes of <i>TG</i>-RNAi flies.

<p>(A) TG antigen from whole body extract of adult <i>TG</i>-RNAi flies was detected by Western blotting. <i>w¹¹¹⁸</i>, <i>Da-GAL4>+</i> and <i>Da-GAL4>UAS-LacZ IR</i> were used as controls. <i>Da</i>, <i>Da-GAL4</i>. (B) Phenotypes of <i>TG</i>-RNAi flies for the wing (left panels) and abdominal cuticle (right panels) were classified into three grades depending on the extent of observed abnormality. The ratios of abnormal flies to total adult flies are indicated. Each fly was laid at 25°C. (C) Scanning electron microscopy of <i>TG</i>-RNAi fly. Scale bar = 200 µm.
