Fig. 5 Co-misexpressing foxi1 and gata3 in tfap2a/c morphants. A-D, Expression of pax2a in the otic/epibranchial placodes at 12 hpf. E–H, Expression of fgf24 in the otic placode at 12 hpf. I–L, Expression of dlx3b in placodal tissues at 12 hpf. M-P, otic vesicle at 24 hpf. Non-transgenic controls and hs:foxi1-hs:gata3 double transgenic embryos are marked across the top, and the lower half of each panel shows tfap2a/c morphants and double transgenic tfap2a/c morphants. Activation of the transgenes at 7 hpf partially rescued otic development in tfap2a/c morphants. Images show dorsal views with anterior to the top (A-L) or lateral views with anterior to the left (M-P).
