Analysis of epithelial cell morphology. The top row represents the morphology immediately after eclosion. a and b The wing epithelia appeared as star shaped cells immediately after eclosion as revealed by phalloidin staining. c and d The Cysu mutant wing maintains a similar star-shaped appearance with intact cell junctions. The bottom row represents wing expansion. f and g After the wings expand, star shaped epithelial cells lose contact with other cells, become circular and their nuclei become fragmented as revealed by DAPI staining. h and i Similar changes are evident in the Cysu mutant wing as well
