Fig. 4. Validation of the effect knocking down MyoD on shortlisted targets. Embryos were injected unilaterally with 10 ng of Morpholino A and 30 ng of Morpholino B (knock-down), 2.5 ng XtMyoD mRNA (overexpression) or both (rescue). Control embryos were injected with the equivalent amount of control MO. The injected side is shown by an asterisk. Numbers and percentages indicate the number of embryos with the phenotype shown. Numbers are from several experiments. The knock-down of MyoD protein causes the loss of expression of all shortlisted targets. Overexpression of MyoD up-regulates the expression of most targets, with the exception of Myf5. Target expression is rescued effectively for all targets when XtMyoD mRNA is coinjected with morpholino. Xbra is expressed in all mesoderm and is included as a control. Embryos have been analysed at mid-gastrula NF stage 11.5 and are viewed vegetally. For numbers and statistical analysis see Supplementary data Table S1.
