Fig. 7. RA signalling is required during gastrulation for pronephros formation. Embryos were treated (B–F) or not (A) with BMS-453 during the time windows indicated in the cartoon, cultured until the late tailbud stage analysed for XPax-2 expression by whole mount in situ hybridization. Panels A′, B′, C′, D′, E′, F′ are tubules area enlargements of panels A, B, C, D, E, F respectively. The effect of BMS-453 on XPax-2 expression in the pronephric tubules is much more severe if embryos are treated during gastrulation (B, C, D) rather than after gastrulation is completed (E, F).
