Decreasing <i>EloC</i> expression suppresses ectopic veins induced by <i>blistered</i> loss-of-function.

The upper allele was brought by the mother. The number of EloC/bsEY23316 females with ectopic veins was compared to the number of +/bsEY23316 females with ectopic veins (z-test, a p<0.001). The mild ectopic vein phenotype corresponds to presence of ectopic veins distal to the posterior cross-vein (Figure 5H), whereas the strong ectopic vein phenotype corresponds to presence of ectopic veins everywhere in the wing (Figure 5G).
