Figure 1 - Geometric dynamics of midgut morphogenesis -- surface area, volume, length

MATLAB data file with fields:

centerlineLength = length of the midgut over time for each embryo, as measured by the midgut shape's centerline within the enclosed yolk;

centerlineLength_normalized = length normalized to its value at the onset of the first constriction ;

volume = volume of the midgut over time for each embryo;

volume_normalized = volume normalized to its value at the onset of the first constriction ;

surfaceArea : surface area of the midgut over time for each embryo;

surfaceArea_normalized : surface area normalized to its value at the onset of the first constriction

validLengthIDs = find(any(allL, 2));

validVolumeIDs = find(any(allV, 2));

validAreaIDs = find(any(allV, 2));

Each measurement curve is derived from the extracted inner endoderm surface of a lightsheet dataset of fluorescently labeled midgut cells. Two datasets expressed membrane marker (CAAX), three datasets expressed a nuclear (histone) marker (histone:RFP), and two datasets expressed LifeAct:Ruby. In all datasets tissue specific markers were driven via the GAL4/UAS system with 48Y-GAL4.
