Fig. 1. Drosophila Plexin A and Plexin B share similar embryonic
expression patterns. (A) A scale representation of the PlexB gene.
ATG and the green arrow indicate the position of the open reading frame start
codon. The SUPor-P element used for LOF analyses (KG00878) is inserted 25
animo acids downstream of the PlexB start codon and is denoted by the red line
and triangle. (B-E) Whole-mount wild-type stage 15-16 embryos
hybridized with digoxigenin-labeled cRNA probes specific for the intracellular
regions of plexB (B,C) and plexA (D,E). Both plexin
transcripts show robust expression within the ventral nerve cord (VNC). Scale
bar in B:
60 µm for B-E.
