Fig. 1. Effects of citral and BMS-453 on pronephros marker genes. Embryos were incubated during gastrulation with citral (B, E) or BMS-453 (C, F) or cultured in control medium (A, D). At the late tailbud stage 33, XSMP-30 (A–C) and XPax-2 (D–F) expression was analysed by whole mount in situ hybridization. Panels D′, E′, F′ are high magnification of the pronephric tubules area of panels D, E, F, respectively. XSMP-30 expression is severely reduced in embryos treated with the chemical inhibitors (B, C). XPax-2 expression in connective tubules and nephrostomes (arrowheads in panel D′) is lost in treated embryos (E′, F′) while expression in the duct is not affected.
