Embryos co-expressing CIBN-PatJ::GFP-pm, RhoGEF2-CRY2 and Sqh::mCherry (B,C were mounted with the ventral tissue facing the objective. After cells underwent apical constriction and cell elongation the basal volume of the ventral cells was photo-activated using two-photon illumination and the myosin-II signal was recorded in alternation. (B) myosin-II distribution in a cross section (z-projection) 3 min after photo-activation. myosin-II was locally recruited to the base as indicated by the red arrowheads in the activated region (red line). (C) Top view (sum of slice of 4 µm-sized image stack) showing basal myosin-II recruitment in the photo-activated region (red dashed square) Data information: Scale bars, 20 µm
