Fig. 4
col mutants display an expansion of non-neural ectoderm and a reduction in neural tissue during late gastrulation. (A,B) At 80% epiboly (8.5 hpf; A; lateral view), gata2 is expressed by non-neural ectoderm in wild-type embryos. The domain of gata2 expression is expanded dorsally and anteriorly in col mutants (B). Arrowheads in A and B denote limits of the gata2 expression domains. (C,D) At 75% epiboly (8 hpf; C; lateral view), otx2 is expressed by the forebrain and midbrain anlage of the neuroectoderm in wild-type embryos (C). In col mutants (D), otx2 expression is reduced and the anterior border of the expression domain (arrowheads) does not reach the animal pole. |
