Figure 2. Analysis of the spatial expression patterns of the fgf1, fgf4, and fgf8 subfamilies. A: Whole mount in situ hybridisations of fgf1 and fgf2 at the indicated stages. B: Whole mount in situ hybridisations of fgf4 and fgf6 at the indicated stages. C: Whole mount in situ hybridisations of fgf8. For stage 10.5, the images are vegetal views; for stage 15, the images are dorsal views; and for stage 23, 28, 35, and 40, the images are lateral views (anterior is left, posterior is right, dorsal is up, and ventral is down). A schematic representation of a Xenopus embryo at stage 28 with the different embryonic tissues labelled is presented in Supp. Figure S3.
