Figure 4. Ventral blastomeres contribute to somitic GRP cells. Embryos were injected at the four-cell stage into defined regions of the dorsal or ventral right blastomere with mRNA encoding β-Gal as lineage tracer as indicated, cultured until Stage 18, and processed for Xnr1 WMISH. Dorsal explants (a-c) and histological sections (a′-c′and a′-c′; levels indicated by dashed lines in a-c) revealed Rose-Gal staining overlapping with Xnr1 mRNA expression in the somitic GRP cells (arrowheads).
