Boi (green) localizes predominantly to apical cells in Drosophila wild-type germaria but not in boi[e] mutant germaria (CIL#13740). Germ cells are identified using anti-Vasa (blue). Image is Fig 2B in...

Boi (green) no longer localizes predominantly to apical cells in Drosophila boi[e] mutant germaria (compare with CIL# 13739). Germ cells are identified using anti-Vasa (blue). Image is Fig 2C in J Cel...

Boi (red) localizes predominantly to apical cells in Drosophila wild-type germaria (CIL# 13741) but not in germaria with UAS-boi[RNAi] expression in apical cells (cells expressing UAS-boi[RNAi] also e...

The Hedgehog (Hh) pathway is activated in follicle stem cells of animals lacking boi (boi[e]; this image), relative to wild-type Drosophila (CIL# 13756), based on activated cubitus interruptus (ci) st...

The Hedgehog (Hh) pathway is activated in follicle stem cells of animals lacking boi (CIL# 13757), relative to wild-type Drosophila (this image), based on activated cubitus interruptus (ci) staining (...

boi controls follicle stem cell proliferation. Germaria from boi[e] mutant in which germ cells (blue, anti-Vasa) and differentiating follicle cells (red, anti-Fas3) are labeled. Stalks between the ger...

Patched (Ptc, green) is expressed in most cells of the Drosophila wild-type germarium including follicle stem cells. Hedgehog (Hh, red) accumulates on the surface of the apical cells. Germ cells are i...

Hedgehog (Hh, red) is transcribed in apical cells of the Drosophila wild-type germarium (CIL# 13755 and this image). In the absence of boi (boi[e] mutant), Hh protein is redistributed from apical cell...
