Hedgehog (Hh, red) is transcribed in apical cells of the Drosophila wild-type germarium (CIL# 13755, 13744). In the absence of boi (boi[e] mutant), Hh protein is redistributed from apical cells to the...

In the absence of boi (boi[e] mutant), Hedgehog (Hh, red) is redistributed from apical cells to the extracellular space of the local follicle stem cell niche (CIL# 13744, 13745). Expression of Boi in ...

In the absence of boi (boi[e] mutant), Hedgehog (Hh, red) is redistributed from apical cells to the extracellular space of the local follicle stem cell niche (CIL# 13744, 13745). Expression of a mutan...

Boi (green) and Hedgehog (Hh, red) are expressed in apical cells of the Drosophila wild-type germarium. In the absence of boi (boi[e] mutant), Hh is redistributed from apical cells to the extracellula...

Smoothened (Smo; green), a downstream effector of Hedgehog (Hh), is expressed in most cells of the wild-type Drosophila germarium including follicle stem cells, but is excluded from Boi- and Hh-expres...

Boi (red) localizes predominantly to apical cells in Drosophila wild-type germaria but not in germaria with UAS-boi[RNAi] expression (CIL#13742). Germ cells are identified using anti-Vasa (blue). Imag...

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...
