Fig. 11. Effects of Xdd1 on archenteron inflation. (A) Archenteron volume is reduced
significantly in both dorsally and circumferentially injected embryos
(***P<0.001, n=38 control, 50 dorsal, 24
circumferential). In contrast to archenteron length, archenteron volume is
significantly reduced in circumferentially injected embryos compared with in
dorsally injected embryos (**P<0.01). (B) A plot of
archenteron inflation against archenteron elongation shows no obvious
correlation between the two processes (each point represents a single
embryo).
