Movies of metamorphosis


These movies are from the following publication:
Ward, R.E., Reid, P., Bashirullah, A., D’Avino, P.P. and C.S. Thummel (2003). GFP in living animals reveals dynamic developmental responses to ecdysone during Drosophila metamorphosis. Dev. Biol. 256: 389-402.

The figure numbers refer to figures in the paper. Click on the title to see the movie. It may take a minute or two for the movies to load, so please be patient.

Fig. 5. Imaginal disc morphogenesis and head eversion establish the basic body plan of the adult fly

Fig. 6. Movement of a T1 leg in an early prepupa and pupal morphogenetic events

Fig. 7. br5 mutants display no eversion or elongation of leg imaginal discs

Fig. 8. crol3 mutants display defects in adult leg morphogenesis
