Figure 3. Expression pattern of Tbx2 in X. tropicalis. In situ hybridization results are shown for Tbx2 (embryos uncleared). a-c: Expression at early gastrula (stage 10.5) is shown in lateral (a) and vegetal (b) views of whole-mount embryos and in transverse section (c; ventral to the right). In both a and b, the embryo is oriented with dorsal to the left and the dorsal blastopore lip is indicated by an arrowhead in a. d: A vegetal view of a late gastrula (st12) is shown, ventral side uppermost. e-r: Expression at early neurula (stage 13; e-g) late neurula (stage 19; h,l), and tail bud stages 21/22 (m), 25 (n), 26 (o,p), 29 (q), and 33 (r) are also shown. Expression in the forebrain (telencephalon) at tail bud stages is indicated by an asterisk (o-r). Except for anterior (j) and posterior (d,l) views, all embryos are oriented with anterior to the left. cg, cement gland; crg, cranial ganglia; drg, dorsal root ganglia; fn, frontonasal process; hm, hypaxial muscle; ht, heart tube; lp, lens placode; ov, otic vesicle; pa, placodal area; pd, pronephric duct; pr, proctodeum. |
