Fig. 3. spry2 is a novel member of the fgf8 synexpression group. Comparison of the expression pattern of spry2 (A,B,D,F,H,J,L,N,P,R,T) with fgf8 (C,E,G,I,K,M,Q,S), fgf3 (O), spry4 (U), sef (V), erm1 (W) and pea3 (X). (A,B) spry2 transcripts in 32-cell stage embryos. (C,D) Late blastula stage expression of fgf8 (C) and spry2 (D). (E,F) Midgastrula stage expression of fgf8 (E) and spry2 (F); black arrowhead indicates margin; black arrow indicates presumptive midbrain-hindbrain region; white arrow indicates axial hypoblast; white arrowhead indicates presumptive forebrain. (G-J) Five-somite stage expression of fgf8 (G,I) and spry2 (H,J). (K,L) Expression of fgf8 (K) and spry2 (L) at the 16-somite stage. (M-P) Expression of fgf8 (M), fgf3 (O) and spry2 (N,P) at 36 hours. Arrowheads indicate rhombomere boundaries; arrows indicate anterior otic vesicle. (Q-T) Expression of fgf8 (Q,S) and spry2 (R,T) at 48 hpf in the neurohypophysis (Q), adenohypophysis (R), the apical ectodermal ridge (S) and mesenchyme of the pectoral fin (T). (U,V) Five-somite stage expression of spry4 (U), sef (V), erm1 (W) and pea3 (X). (A,C,D,G,H,K-R, U-X) Lateral views; (B) animal pole view; (I,J,S,T) dorsal views. Anterior is upwards in C-F and towards the left in G-X. ba, branchial arches; dd, dorsal diencephalon; hpm, heart primordia; mhb, midbrain hindbrain boundary; os, optic stalk; r2/r4, rhombomeres 2 and 4; som, somites; tb, tail bud; tel, telencephalon.
