Fig. 4. kbp is required autonomously in neurons for axonal
outgrowth. (A,A') Lateral views of a chimeric larva
generated by transplantation of dextran labeled wild-type cells (red) into a
kbpst23 mutant. Wild-type neurons in the PLLg (arrow, A)
extend axons along the entire length of the PLL (A'). Arrowheads point
to extended PLLn axons and the rightmost arrowhead in A' represents an
axon innervating the most posterior neuromast near the tip of the tail.
(B,B') Lateral views of a chimeric larva generated by
transplantation of dextran-labeled wild-type cells (red) into a
kbpst23 mutant. A single wild-type reticulospinal neuron
in the hindbrain (arrow, B) extends an axon along the entire length of the
spinal cord (B'). Arrowhead indicates the end of the axon near the tip
of the tail.
