Fig. 11. Xom, but not DXom, changes the fate of prospective dorsal mesodermal cells. RNA (2 ng) encoding DXom (A, B), or Xom (C, D) was injected into blastomere C1 of Xenopus embryos at the 32-cell stage along with RNA (100 pg) encoding b- galactosidase, which acts as a lineage marker. The embryos were allowed to develop to stage 42, when they were fixed and processed for b-galactosidase expression. Note that blastomeres injected with RNA encoding DXom make a major contribution to notochord (A, B), while those expressing Xom (C, D) preferentially populate the somites.
