Fig. 6. FGF gene loss of function alters the expression of RAR signaling pathway components in microinjected embryos. Embryos were microinjected unilaterally into one blastomere at the two- or four-cell stage with 1 ng of XFD mRNA and β-galactosidase mRNA as lineage tracer. Embryos were allowed to develop until controls reached stage 11 then fixed and processed for whole-mount in situ hybridization with the probes (A,B) XCAD3 [cdx4], (C,D) XRARα [rara], (E,F) RALDH2 [aldh1a2] or (G,H) CYP26 [cyp26a1].
