Movie 11

Mechanical tension on adherens junction of LECs increases during development.
Time-lapse movies showing dorsal views of an abdominal epidermal segment of a pupa before and after ablation of a single LEC adherens junction in the vicinity of the dorsal midline for the indicated times APF. Times relative to the laser cut are indicated. Adherens junctions are visualized by E-cadherin-GFP. Scale bars: 10 μm.
