Fig. 7. Complete axis induction by co-expression of Gsc and a truncated BMP receptor. At the four-cell stage, two ventral blastomeres were injected with 100 pg of Gsc (B), 250 pg of a truncated BMPR (tBMPR) (C) or a combination of both (D), and axis induction was assessed at the late tadpole stage. Arrowhead indicates partial axis (C) or ectopic eye in a complete secondary axis (D). Quantitation is shown in E. Each bar represents the percentage of embryos with ectopic axes resulting from four independent experiments. Dark bar, complete secondary axes; light bar, partial secondary axes; n, total number of injected embryos. Scale bar: 1.0 mm. Image published in: Yao J and Kessler DS (2001) Copyright © 2001.
