Fig. 7. Phenotypes of embryos injected with Xotx2. The embryos shown were injected with 5 ng of either ∆Xotx2 (A) or Xotx2 (B-E) RNA. Injected embryos developed until sibling controls reached stage 34. Frequencies of occurrence of the various phenotypes are shown in Table 1. The embryo in A shows no phenotypic abnormalities. (B) Embryo with bent axis. (C) Embryo with posterior defects. (D) Embryos with additional cement glands (arrowheads). The embryo on the left side presents a secondary cement gland fused laterally to the original gland. (E) Embryo with axis duplication. The partial secondary axis is delimited by two arrows. (F) Albino embryos microinjected with Xotx2 and hybridized with XCG-1, a probe specific for the developing cement gland. An uninjected control embryo is shown at the bottom.
