Fig. 2. Spatial expression of Xfz7. In situ hybridization on whole embryos (A-D) and on sections (E-J). (A) Dorsovegetal view of a stage 10 gastrula. Xfz7 is strongly expressed in the blastoporal lip and in the presumptive neuroectoderm, with a gap of lower expression levels between these two regions. (B) Dorsovegetal view of a stage 11 gastrula. The presumptive neuroectoderm is strongly stained. (C) Lithium-dorsalized early gastrula shows expression of Xfz7 in the entire marginal zone. (D) U.v.-ventralized early gastrula shows absence of Xfz7 expression. (E) Sagittal section of a stage 10.5 gastrula. (F) Higher magnification of E. Xfz7 transcripts are strongly expressed in the presumptive neuroectoderm (ne) and in deep cells of the dorsal mesoderm, located between the Brachetâ s cleft (b) and the superficial layers (arrow). (G) Sagittal section of a stage 11 gastrula. (H) Higher magnification of G. Strong expression of Xfz7 is present in the presumptive neuroectoderm and in deep layers of dorsal mesoderm (arrowheads). Lower levels of expression are present in the superficial layers (arrows). (I,J) Transverse section from a stage 18 neurula. Anteriorly (I), Xfz7 is expressed in the neural plate and in the lateral plate mesoderm (lp), but not in the somites (s). Posteriorly (J), it is expressed in the unsegmented somitic mesoderm.
