Fig. 6. Ectopic dorsal expression of fgfr1 phenocopies dorsal depletion of Xenopus kctd15. (A) The indicated dose of fgfr1 WT mRNA was injected into the animal pole of each dorsal blastomere at the four-cell stage. Embryos were photographed at the late tailbud stage. (B) Obtained phenotypes were classified into three groups (severe, mild or normal) according to the extent of defects in head morphologies. (C) Obtained phenotypes were classified into four groups (no somite, severe, mild or normal) according to the extent of defects in somite formation. (D) The indicated dose of fgfr1 WT mRNA was injected into the animal pole of each ventral blastomere at the four-cell stage. Embryos were photographed at the late tailbud stage.
