Fig. 10. Mirror-image duplication of gsc expression in the moz
mutant second arch. Ventral (A-C,E,G) and lateral (D,F) views of gsc
expression in whole-mount wild-type (A,D,E), moz mutants (B,F,G) and
hoxa2b+hoxb2a-MO co-injected animals (C) at 33 hpf (A-C) and 41 hpf
(D-G). In moz mutants and hoxa2b+hoxb2a-MO co-injected
animals, second arch expression shift medially (arrows in B and C), mirroring
the wild-type first arch pattern. (D-G) At 41 hpf in moz mutants,
dorsal second arch gsc expression is reduced (arrowhead in F) and
ventral expression is still inverted (arrows in E,G). (H) Schematic of
expression domains visible in (A,B,E,G). In moz mutants, lateral
second arch gsc expression is missing, and instead the second arch
pattern resembles a mirror-image duplication of the first arch pattern, with a
thin medial crescent of expression in the anterior medial arch. Relevant
pharyngeal arches are numbered. e, eye. Scale bars: 50 µm.
