Fig. 6. Bcd(A52-56) severely affects the expression patterns of target genes in Drosophila embryos. Shown are embryos from bcd+ females carrying either no (A,C,E,G,I) or one copy (B,D,F,H,J) of bcd(A52-56)18A, hybridized with digoxigenin-labeled hb (A-F) or otd (G-J) antisense RNA probes. Different developmental stages are shown: pre-cellular (A,B), cellularizing (C,D,G,H) and cellularized embryos (E,F,I,J). Embryos are oriented with anterior towards the left and dorsal upwards.
