Fig. 2. Forelimb buds do not form in xdm. (A, F, K, P) Dorsal views of stages 47, 48, 50 and 53 wt tadpoles showing sites of the forelimb (black arrowheads) and the hindlimb (white arrowheads). (D, I, N, S) Hindlimb development occurs normally in the mutant compared with the wt (B, G, L, Q). (C, E) Stage 47 wild type and mutant tadpoles immediately prior to forelimb bud initiation. (H) Forelimb buds (dashed outline) first appear at stage 48 in wt tadpoles but not in xdm homozygotes (J). (M) Forelimbs are more distinct in stage 50 wt larvae but are still absent in xdm (O). (R) By stage 53 the wt forelimb has formed a handplate, while mutant tadpoles still lack forelimb buds (T). Image published in: Abu-Daya A et al. (2011) © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
