Cuticles pattern of trans-Golgin mutants. a wild-type larva serving as control. The larval body contains three thoracic (T1-T3) and eight abdominal (A1-A8) segments. Segmental defects are indicated by red arrowheads, head defects as red arrows. b embryo from homozygous mothers carrying a weak bcd103–18-5 mutation showing fusion of A4 and A5, as well as subtle head defects. c embryo from homozygous mothers carrying a slightly stronger bcd245–35-7 mutation showing pairwise fusions of A4 with A5, A2 with A3, absence of T1 and T2, as well as strong head defects. d dGCC88i embryo showing fusion of A3 to A5, absence of T1, as well as head defects. e dGolgin97i embryo showing fusion of A4 and A5 as well as A2 and A3, but no overt head defect and all thoracic segments present. f dGCC185i embryo showing fusion of A3 to A5, but otherwise mild head defects and all thoracic segments present. g dGCC185c03845/Df(3R)08155 embryo showing lack of T2 and slight defects in germband retraction leading to a round belly and the mouth hooks internalized to the dorsal side. h dGCC185c03845/Df(3R)08155 embryo showing lack of T2 and failure to fully retract the germband, as well as head defects and dorsalized mouth hooks, similar to (g)
