Fig. 4. Eye morphogenesis in cyc morphant and slb.
(A-F,M-R) Dorsal projections, anterior to left;
(G-L,S-X) frontal projections, dorsal up. slb (A,G) and
cyc morphant (D,H) forebrain regions prior to neurulation. Anterior
limit of keel formation, as with wild-type, begins with hypothalamus in
slb (B) but is far anterior within the anterior eye field in
cyc morphant (E). (C,F) Keel movement is attenuated in both
cyc morphant and slb, relative to wild-type, never emerging
anterior to the telencephalon. (I,K) Anterior tissue is displaced
progressively deep in slb. (J,L) Medial eye field occupies the
ventral midline in cyc morphant. (M-O) Retarded medial eye-field
reorganisation and evagination in slb. (S,U,W) Deep keel persists in
slb. (P,Q,T,V) Normal medial convergence of telencephalon and
anterior eye field in cyc morphant. (R,X) Subducted eye field remains
medial within keel after evagination. Square dotted line, midline. Asterisk,
anterior tip of neural keel. Arrows indicate the direction of movement of the
cells. Time (bottom left- or right-hand corner) in hpf. Colours are indicated
in A. See Movies 7 (slb), 8 (cyc morphant), 9 and 10 in the
supplementary material. A, anterior; P, posterior; D, dorsal; V, ventral; hpf,
hours post fertilisation. Scale bars, 25 µm.
