Fig. 4. Spaw expression in midline mutants. (A-E) Dorsal views, anterior
is towards the top. Dig-spaw probe. (F) Coordinate axes: A, anterior;
P, posterior; L, left; R, right. (A,B) Ten to 12 somite stage,
ntlb160/ntlb160 (abbreviated
ntl/ in figure) Asterisk indicates tailbud;
arrowheads indicate left and right lateral plate. (C) Seventeen to 19 somites.
Wild-type sibling (sib) from a ntlb160/+ incross. Arrow
indicates ectopic spaw. (D) Sixteen to 20 somite embryo,
sqtcz35/sqtcz35 (abbreviated
sqt/ in figure) Arrowheads indicate
bilateral spaw expression in lateral plate. Inset shows lateral view
of tailbud. (E) Seventeen to 18 somites,
bozm168/bozm168. Arrowhead indicates
right-sided spaw domain. (G,H) Shield stage, looking down on
blastoderm, dorsal towards the right, Dig-goosecoid probe. (G)
Uninjected control. (H) Injected with 25 pg pCS2+ActHASpaw
plasmid.
