Fig. 2. Rescue of early Fgfr1 functions by Fgfr1
Frs.
(A) Viability (percent of expected) of homozygotes recovered from
Fgfr1
Frs/+ and
Fgfr1
ex4/+ intercrosses. (B-G)
Sonic hedgehog (Shh, E9.5) and Meox1 (E10.5) in situ
hybridization. Arrows indicate width of the Shh expression domain
(more than two cell diameters in
Fgfr1
ex4/
ex4 compared with
one cell diameter in control embryos). (C) The paraxial mesoderm population is
reduced and disorganized in
Fgfr1
ex4/
ex4 embryos, so
Meox1 staining is faint and diffuse. (Color development time required
to visualize any positive signal was notably longer in this embryo than in
F,G.)
