Fig. 7. sdf1a whole-mount mRNA in situ hybridisations in WT and
cho mutant. sdf1a is expressed in disk-shaped somite
external cells along the horizontal myoseptum (arrowheads) in WT and in the
collar region (arrows) in cho mutants. (A) Lateral views at
24, 36 and 55 hpf. (B) Dorsal views at 55 hpf. (C) Transverse
cross-sections through the anterior and posterior trunk at 24, 36 and 55 hpf.
(D) Confocal images of transverse cross-sections through the anterior
and posterior trunk at 27 hpf showing superficial expression of sdf1a
mRNA (red) compared with MF20 antibody staining of muscle (green). (E)
Higher magnification lateral view of cho anterior trunk at 30 hpf.
Scale bars: 25 µm.
