Fig. 2. Expression of Xmsx-1 in gastrula- and neurula-stage embryos. Whole-mount in situ hybridization was performed using albino embryos. (A) At the early gastrula stage (stage 101/4), faint staining was observed in animal hemisphere. (B,C) At mid-gastrula stage (stage 11), staining was detected in marginal zone and animal pole area, laterally and ventrally, but not dorsally. Lateral (B) and animal (C) views. d, dorsal. (D,E) At late gastrula stage (stage 13), message was strongest in dorsal-lateral region and was completely absent in the presumptive neural area. Dorsal-lateral (D) and dorsal (E) views. a, anterior. (F) At neurula stage (stage 15), expression is obviously restricted to the ridges of neural fold and anterior lateral edges of neural region, where the neural crest precursors exist. Bar in A indicates 500 mm. Image published in: Maeda R et al. (1997) Copyright © 1997. Image reproduced with permission of the publisher and the copyright holder.
