Figure 5. Nkx6.3 is a neural plate border specifier.The effects of Nkx6.3 overexpression (A–J) or knockdown (A′–J′) on the expression of indicated neural and non-neural ectodermal markers and that of Wnt8. The injected sides were all on the left marked by red β-galactosidase staining. In (E) and (E′), the arrowed lines indicate the width of the neural plates. The numbers of embryos showing similar changes of gene expression and total injected embryos in each group are indicated. Image published in: Zhang Z et al.
