General requirement of Dlg5 for growth. a control wing and bDlg5KK10486 RNAi expressing wing with Nubbin:Gal4. The area of these wings is quantified in (d). cDlg5Ex13 mutant clone in the wing disc, marked by the absence of RFP, is smaller than the wild-type twin clone. Mutant clone has an elongated shape. Scale bar 50 μm. e cell number f mean cell size and g total size quantification in Dlg5Ex13 and twin clones in the wing disc of third instar larvae (n = 20 for each genotype). h and h′ DCP1 staining does not reveal apoptosis in Dlg5Ex13 mutant clones (outlined in yellow) i control (Dlg5 heterozygous) third instar larva and jDlg5 mutant larva of the same age at 25 °C. k quantification of larva size (n > 4, *** p-value < 0.001)
