Fig. 4 ogom60 bmp4 expression domains are expanded in ogo mutant embryos. (A–C) Animal pole view with dorsal to the right. (A) The dorsal extent of bmp4 expression (arrowheads) was unaffected in 77% of embryos (70% epiboly) derived from ogom60 /+ intercrosses but was expanded in (B) the remaining 23%, presumed to be ogom60 /ogom60. (C) 100% of embryos from ogom60 /ogotm305 intercrosses displayed a dorsalward expansion of bmp4 expression. (D and E) Posterior views. Compared to their (D) WT siblings, bmp4 expression was highly expanded in the tailbuds of (E) ogom60 /ogom60 embryos (8 somites). At 20 somites, bmp4 was expressed in (F) the single ventral fin fold of WT embryos and (G) the multiple, ectopic fin folds (arrows) of ogom60 /ogom60 embryos. Scale bars, 200 μm.
