Fig. 2. Myocardial ultrastructure is disrupted in the wea mutant atrium
and intact in the wea mutant ventricle. (A-D) Longitudinal sections
of myocardiocytes at 48 hpf viewed by transmission electron microscopy. (A,B)
Atrial cells in wild-type embryos contain myofibrillar arrays (A), but
myofibrils are rarely found in wea mutant atrial cells (B).
Occasionally, wea mutant atrial cells contain a few disorganized
myofilaments (B, arrow). (C,D) Ventricular cells in wild-type (C) and
wea mutant embryos (D) contain normal myofibrillar arrays.
