Embryos derived from homozygous mutant yobty44d females show a maternal effect phenotype. Lateral view of (A) a wild-type embryo and (B) an embryo derived from a yob homozygous female at the 5-somite stage, showing the reduced length of the body. (C) Dorsal view of a 10-somite stage wild-type embryo and (D) a 10- somite stage embryo derived from a yob homozygous female showing the wider axis. Lateral view of a wild-type embryo (E) and an embryo derived from a yob homozygous female (F) at the pharyngula period, showing the head and tail defects. Lateral view of a wild-type embryo (G) and an embryo derived from a yob homozygous female (H) at the hatching period.
