Figure 3. Molecular characterization of the developing Xenopus foregut and respiratory epithelium. A: Schematic of the developing foregut region and respiratory system at the indicated developmental stages, with endoderm in yellow, heart (h) in orange, and respiratory epithelium in blue. B–Y: Whole-mount in situ hybridization with the indicated probes to whole embryos at NF32 (B,F,J), NF33 (N), NF35 (R), NF38 (V) or to isolated guts at NF42 (C,G,K,O,S,W) or to lung/tracheal/esophageal regions dissected at NF49 (D,H,L,P,T,X) or NF59 (E,I,M,Q,U,Y). Abbreviations: e, esophagus; fg, foregut; h, heart; lb, lung bud; lg, lung; lv, liver; st, stomach; tr, trachea; ty, thyroid.
