Fig. 5. MO-mediated knockdown of a subset of vegetally enriched mRNAs increases PGC number. One-cell embryos were injected in the vegetal region with MOs (15 ng) targeting otx1 or wwtr1. Tailbud embryos (stage 32-35) were analyzed for xpat. Representative images are shown (A-C). The number of PGCs per embryo was quantified (D). Uninjected control (ctrl), n=32; otx1-MO, n=31; wwtr1-MO, n=25. *P<0.05 compared with control. Analysis based on at least two independent experiments. Image published in: Owens DA et al.
