Fig. 6. Cells of the presumptive eye field acquire a telencephalic identity in
the absence of Rx3. (A,B) Location of uncaged cells compared
with the notochord, polster and enveloping layer (inset in A) at the early
tail-bud stage, and photomicrograph of the fluorescent clone immediately
following uncaging (B) (dorsal views, anterior up). (C-E) Fate of the
uncaged progeny in wild-type embryos at 24 hpf (overlay of fluorescence and
Nomarski optics views, anterior left). (C) Retina only (45% of cases); (D)
retina and anterior hypothalamus (21% of cases); (E) retina and telencephalon
(31% of cases) (see also Table
1). (F-I) Fate of the uncaged progeny in
ckhne2611 embryos at the 24 hpf stage (overlay of
fluorescence and Nomarski optics views in F, fluorescence only in G-I,
anterior left). All clones contribute to the telencephalon (100% of cases, see
Table 1).
