 Fig. 2. b-catenin mRNA rescues the dorsal axis when injected into single animal, equatorial or vegetal cells of b-catenin-depleted 32-cell stage embryos.The degree of rescue is shown in AD. (A) No injection, (B) animal cell injection, (C) vegetal cell injection, and (D) marginal cell injection of 150 pg of b-catenin mRNA. The descendant cells of the single injected cells are shown by X-gal staining. (E) The progeny of an equatorial cell overexpressing b-catenin are in axial mesoderm (notochord and somite) and anterior endoderm. (F) Progeny of an animalinjected cell overexpressing b-catenin are in the skin over the head, and (G) the progeny of a vegetal-injected blastomere are in endoderm.
