(A–D, G–J’) S9 egg chambers of the designated genotypes stained with anti-pSqh (red) and the DNA marker Hoechst (blue) showing pSqh levels in the NCs (A–D) and the BCs (G–J’). (E, F, K, L) Quantification of pSqh levels in the NCs (E, F) and in the BCs (K, L) of egg chambers of the specified genotypes. G’–J’ Magnifications of the white boxes in G–J. The statistical significance of differences was assessed with a t test, * P value < 0.05, ** P value < 0.01, and *** P value < 0.001. Horizontal and vertical lines indicate mean and SD, respectively. Scale bar in A, 20 μm. The raw data underlying panels E, F, K, and L are available in S1 Data.
