Drosophila stocks and genetic crossings To generate fluorescent cephalic furrow mutants, we performed genetic crosses using the loss-of-function alleles btdXA (FBal0030657), eve3 (FBal0003885), prd4 (FBal0013967), slpΔ34B (FBal0035631) and stg2 (FBal0247234); the membrane fluorescent marker Gap43-mCherry (FBal0258719; a gift from K. Skouloudaki); and the green fluorescent balancers FM7c, Kr-GFP (FBst0005193), CyO, twi-GFP (gift from A. Jain) and TM3, Kr-GFP (FBst0005195). We …
