 Loss of PGCs in Stau disrupted embryos is rescued by co-injection of Drosophila staufen. GFPnos1 expression (A–H, Q) or vasa expression (I–P, R) in embryos (24 hpf) injected with GST protein + lacZ RNA (A, I), GST protein + Drosophila melanogaster staufen RNA (B, J), Stau2 RBD5 peptide + lacZ RNA (C, K), Stau2 RBD5 peptide + Drosophila melanogaster staufen RNA (D, L), control morpholinos + lacZ RNA (E, M), control morpholino + Drosophila melanogaster staufen RNA (F, N), Staufen2 morpholino2 + lacZ RNA (G, O), and staufen2 morpholino2 + Drosophila melanogaster staufen RNA (H, P). Dotted boxes in panels A–P outline the areas shown at higher magnification in the insets. Lateral views, scale bar, 100 μm. (Q) % embryos with GFPnos expression in PGCs, (R) % embryos with vasa RNA expression at 24 hpf.
