Fig. 2. Supernumerary pharynx formation after Smed-roboA RNAi.
(A,B) Confocal projections showing ectopic pharynges after 16 days of
regeneration and two rounds of RNAi treatment. Anti-phosphotyrosine and
anti-VC-1 labeling is shown. In A, arrows indicate pharyngeal opening; in B,
arrows indicate connections between ectopic and pre-existing gut. (C,D)
laminin (DN293829) in situ hybridization in 16-day regenerates. (C)
Control; (D) Smed-roboA RNAi. In all panels, white asterisks indicate
original pharynges; magenta asterisks show ectopic pharynges. Anterior is to
the left. cg, cephalic ganglia; g, ectopic gut branches. Scale bars: 200 µm
in A; 100 µm in B; 300 µm in C,D.
