Fig. 2. Developmental expression of Xrx1 by whole-mount in situ hybridization. In panels (C,E) anterior is to the left and dorsal to the top. In panels (C-E) Xrx1 expression in the pineal gland is marked with an arrowhead. (A,B) Xrx1 expression of stage 12.5 and stage 15 neurulae. Frontal views show the expression in the anterior neural plate and ridge. In (B) the dotted line defines the anterior limit of the neural ridge. (C) Lateral view of a stage 24 embryo showing Xrx1 expression in the optic vesicle and pineal gland. (D) Dorsal view of a stage 28 embryo. Anterior is to the bottom. The fainter staining between the eyes is the diencephalon floor. (E) Lateral view of a stage 34 embryo showing that the lens (L) does not express Xrx1. Abbreviations: cg, cement gland; L, lens.
