Fig. 5. Expression of Dpp signaling components in A. gambiae.
Embryos (A. gambiae, left and D. melanogaster, right; all
lateral views) were hybridized with the indicated antisense RNA probes.
(A,B) decapentaplegic (dpp);
(C,D) thick veins (tkv); (E-H)
zerknullt (zen). All embryos are at the cellular blastoderm
stage, except E, which is a precellular mosquito embryo.
