Fig. 6. FGF gene loss of function alters the expression of RAR signaling pathway
components in microinjected embryos. Embryos were microinjected unilaterally
into one blastomere at the two- or four-cell stage with 1 ng of XFD
mRNA and ß-galactosidase mRNA as lineage tracer. Embryos were allowed to
develop until controls reached stage 11 then fixed and processed for
whole-mount in situ hybridization with the probes (A,B) XCAD3, (C,D)
XRAR
, (E,F) RALDH2 or (G,H) CYP26.
