Characterization of klf2a^-/- mutants.

(a) anti-fibronectin staining (green) is reduced in the AVC of trpp2^-/- mutants (12/12 trpp2^+/+, 9/19 trpp2^-/-). (b,c) A range of valvular defects were observed in klf2a^-/- mutant embryos at 96 hpf (n=25 klf2a^+/+, n=48 klf2a^-/-), similar to those observed in klf2aMO-injected embryos (e; n=20 control, n=17 klf2aMO). (d) Photoconversion of AVC EdCs at 48 hpf shows the organization of cells within the cardiac jelly to be affected by loss of klf2a (d,e; n=21 klf2^+/+, n=32 klf2a^-/-) at 72 hpf. Scale bars, 10 µm.
