Fig. 3. Overexpression of Xfz7 perturbs trunk and tail formation. (A) Normal uninjected tadpoles (NF-stage 35). (B) Embryos injected unilaterally with 0.2 ng of Xfz7 mRNA in the lateral marginal zone at the eight-cell stage, display reduced tail structures and kinked trunks (45%, n=15/33). (C) In embryos injected bilaterally at the four-cell stage in the dorsal marginal zone with 0.5 ng of Xfz7 mRNA and 0.1 ng of β-gal mRNA as a lineage tracer, the injected cells are not distributed along the axis but stay together as a clump (80%, n=44/55).
