Fig. 7. foo mutants show post-migratory NC cell defects. Right panels,
foo/foo homozygote embryos; left panels are same-clutch wild-type
siblings. (A,B) dlx2 expression by in situ hybridization in wild-type
(A) and foo/foo (B) 28 hpf embryos. Arrows indicate third
stream derived third and fourth arch NC cells. Note the apparent loss of the
third and fourth arch expression domains in the mutant. (C) hand2
expression by in situ hybridization in wild-type (C) and
foo/foo (D) 28 hpf embryos. Arrows indicate third stream
derived third and fourth arch NC cells. Note the reduction and disorganization
of the third and fourth arch expression domains in the mutant. Also note the
normal ventral expression of hand2 in the first and second arches.
(E,F) gsc expression by in situ hybridization in wild-type (E) and
foo/foo (F) 34 hpf embryos. Arrows in E indicate dorsal
gsc expression domains in the first and second arch NC cells flanking
either side of pp1. Arrowhead in E indicates gsc expression in the
otic vesicle. Arrows in F indicate where gsc expression can no longer
be seen in the more dorsal region of expression; more ventral domains remain
in foo embryos. Otic vesicle expression is also absent (arrowhead in
F).
