Fig. 5. Pitx1 is essential for Xenopus gut morphogenesis. (A,A′,C,C′) Ventral (A,A′) and lateral (C,C′) views of a stage 44 dissected control gut reveal Shroom3 expression in the foregut (arrow in A). In the diagrams, Shroom3 expression is represented in purple and normal gut looping by the black line. (B,B′,D,D′) Ventral (B,B′) and lateral (D,D′) views of dissected guts lacking Pitx1 reveal reduced Shroom3 expression in the foregut (arrow in B). The Pitx1 morphant displays a failure of looping (red line) in the foregut, corresponding to regions of disrupted Shroom3 expression. Image published in: Chung MI et al. (2010) Copyright © 2010.
