Fig. 2

Cross-sections of the mesothoracic flight muscle at various stages. The apoptotic wing degeneration occurs at 7th day after the final ecdysis. All the mesothoraces were sectioned at 5 μm thickness. Images for the TUNEL assays are shown for the 3rd day (a, a′), and 7th day (b, b′) after the final ecdysis in both the normal and fasted aphid groups. In each of the group, a positive control sample were included to shown the cell apoptosis signals (c, c′). The arrowheads indicate apoptotic cells
