Cover: Image of a Drosophila central nervous system from a third-instar larva. The tissue contains numerous neural progenitor clones that are mutant for the coenzyme Q10 biosynthetic gene qless, marked with nuclear GFP (green). Also shown are the primary neural progenitors themselves, called neuroblasts (red). Loss of qless activity produces a variety of undersized clones with neuroblasts tending to be absent from the smallest ones.
