Fig. 9. BDM treatment can randomize cardiac and gut left-right patterning.
(A) An untreated stage-47 tadpole displays normal situs of heart and
gut coiling. (B) A tadpole exposed to 20 mmol/l BDM for 20 minutes
during the first cell cycle displays reversed cardiac and gut organizations,
with otherwise normal body patterning. Insets show outlines of normal (A) and
reversed (B) cardiac outflow tract and ventricle.
