Figure 2. Single Morphants and Double Morphants Still Form a Substantial Neural PlateAll panels show sox2 expression to visualize the neural plate (dorsal views with anterior to the bottom) in neurula embryos (st 14–15). Uninjected embryos are shown (A, D, and G) with sibling noggin morphants (B), follistatin morphants (E), and chordin morphants (H). Double morphants include follistatin/noggin (K), chordin/noggin (N), and chordin/follistatin (Q) and are shown with sibling uninjected embryos (J, M, and P). Morphants were rescued with pufferfish noggin (C, F, I, L, O, and R). Abbreviations are as follows: F = follistatin, C = chordin, N = noggin, UC = uninjected sibling control embryos, MO = morphant, and MO + R = morphant rescued with noggin mRNA.
