Fig. 4. Disruption of neural crest migration is correlated with segmentation
defects. Whole-mount staining with crestin riboprobe (red) and F59
antibody (green) of bea (A-D; posterior of somite 9) and fss
mutants (E-H) at 21 hpf. Streams of neural crest cells (red, A,C,E,G) are
present, but less regular than in wild types and the streams show some
branching, consistent with abnormal somite shape and size. However, neural
crest still migrates generally in the middle of the medial aspect of the
myotome in both mutants. (D,H) DIC images of bea and fss
mutants, respectively. Scale bar: 20 µm.
