Fig. 2. (A) Whole-mount in situ hybridization with labeled antisense probes against XMEF2D, XMEF2A and XMEF2C during embryonic development. The numbers refer to the developmental stages. The anterior side of the embryos is on the left. Lateral view for all embryos except dorsal view for XMEF2D stages 12, 16 and 20; XMEF2A stages 16 and 20; and anterior view for XMEF2C stage 19. (B) XMEF2A, XMEF2D and XMEF2C expression at stages 37–38 in head muscle anlagens as indicated by XMRF4 mRNAs localization. Lateral view on the left. ba, brachial arches; cm, cranio-facial muscle; fhr, frontal head region; nc, neural crest; h, heart; hm, hypaxial muscles. Arrowhead: hypaxial migratory cells. |
