Figure 2. Expression Patterns of Xnr1 Are Independent of Leftward Flow(A) Schematic representation of dorsal explant, shown in ventral view. The blue box indicates the region shown in (B). The following abbreviations are used: cbc, circumblastoporal collar; LECs, lateral endodermal crest cells.(B) Representative examples of Xnr1 mRNA expression patterns in the GRP of stage 17 embryos. Following in situ hybridization, dorsal explants were prepared and classified into right bias (R > L), equal distribution (R = L), or left bias (R < L) of Xnr1 signals at the GRP.(C) Xnr1 expression patterns are indistinguishable in pre- and postflow stages (left bars) and are unaltered in embryos, in which flow was ablated (right bars) by dnah9 knockdown (dnah9-MO) or by methylcellulose (MC) injections. Numbers in bars represent percentages; numbers of embryos analyzed are indicated in brackets. Image published in: Schweickert A et al. (2010) Copyright © 2010.
