Fig. 2. Knockdown of xDel1 causes ventralization of the Xenopus embryo. (A) External appearance at the late-tailbud stage. Top, control. Middle and bottom, xDel1-MO-injected embryos (MO-A and -B, 6.25 ng/cell each at the 4-cell stage). (B, E, H, K) Uninjected gastrula embryos. (C, F, I, L) xDel1-MO-injected embryos. (D, G, J, M) Embryos injected with 5-base-mispaired control MO. (N, O) Co-injection of xDel1-MO and xDel1 RNA (coding). Embryos were analyzed by whole-mount in situ hybridization with a probe for Chd (B–D, N), Gsc (E–G), Vent1 (H–J, O) or Szl (K–M). Image published in: Arakawa A et al. (2007) Copyright © 2007.
