  1. Embryos were immunostained with anti-histone H3 antibody and scored under a fluorescent microscope.
  2. *: Embryos have at least two different mitotic phases. For examples, nuclei at the anterior of the embryo are at telophase whereas those at the posterior remain at metaphase.
  3. #: GCN4>tlk are from females carrying both UASP-tlk and GCN4-GAL4 transgenes mated with UAST-tlk males.
