Fig. 3. Ectopic hhex converts intestine-forming cells into vpp1-expressing cells. Whole mount staining was performed with probes indicated on the left. (A) Bisected embryos, anterior toward the left. Phenotype is as fol- lows: B, 28/32; E, 34/40; H, 21/21; K, 42/42. (L) Statistic analysis of phospho- histone H3-positive cells on the whole surface of bisected vegetal endoderm, as demarcated by the red dashed lines in J and K. As the distribution of phospho-histone H3-positive cells across the whole vegetal endoderm sur- face did not show obvious bias, for simplicity, we counted the whole area rather than only putative vpp1-positive area. Forty-two bisected samples were counted from either control or hhex-injected embryos. P value (0.156) was determined by the paired, two-tailed t test. Image published in: Zhao H et al.
