Fig. 3. Overexpression of nlk causes the same phenotypes as
overexpression of Delta. (A) Morphology of embryos
overexpressing nlk or Delta. (a,c,e) Control embryos.
(b,d,f,g,h) Embryos injected with nlk mRNA. (i-l) Embryos injected
with Delta mRNA. (a,b) Late gastrula, (c,d,i) prism stage, (e-h,j-l)
pluteus stage. (vv) Vegetal pole view. (B) Effects of nlk
misexpression on the expression of ectodermal, endodermal and mesodermal
genes. In situ hybridization was carried out between blastula and gastrula
stages. HE (a,g), bhmt (b,h), brachyury (c,i),
goosecoid (d,j) and bpnt (e,f,k,l). (b-f) Control embryos.
(g-l) Injected embryos.
