Figure S1. Analysis of the expression pattern of Noggin4 and its ability to induce secondary axes. (a-f) The expression pattern of Noggin4 on successive stages, from the late blastula (stage 9) till early-midneurulas (stage 14), as revealed by the whole-mount in situ hybridisation. Note, that at all these stages, a maximum of the expression is located within the presumptive anterior neural plate. All embryos are shown from the vegetal pole, anterior to the top. (c’–f’) Vibratom sections of embryos at stage 10.5, 11.5 and 14 made as indicated on (c and e) by dashed lines. (g) Control in situ hybridization with sense probe to Noggin4 mRNA. (h and h’) Injection of 15 ng/blastomere of Noggin1 mRNA mixed with FLD, into the equatorial zone of ventral blastomeres at 4-cell stage induces formation of secondary body axes (98%, n=120; red asterisk— main axis; yellow asterisk— secondary axis). (i and i’) By contrast, injections by the same way of even 150 ng/blastomere of Noggin4 mRNA did not induce secondary axes at all (0%, n=120; asterisk— main axis).Abbreviations: bl — blastopore, dbl — dorsal blastopore lip, n —notochord, np— neural plate, s — somite. Bar everywhere is 100 m.
