Progenitors Increase in Number between Embryogenesis and Metamorphosis; Proliferation Ability Diminishes with Fate Restriction (A-D) Tg(sox10mG) expression in zebrafish trunk at (A) 16 hpf, (B) 5 dpf, (C) 15 dpf, and (D) 21 dpf. Asterisk indicates DRG; arrows point to sox10-positive cells along the nerve tracts. Gray, membrane-tagged GFP; red, nuclear RFP. (E) Schematic representation of the association between pigment cell progenitors and peripheral neurons. (F-I) Committed melanoblasts generate a small number of melanophores. Melanophore distribution in (F) MIX, (G) MI, and (H) M clones. (I) Quantification of the number of labeled melanophores; each dot represents the number of labeled melanophores in an individual clone. Scale bars represent 100 µm in (A)-(D) and 250 µm in (F)-(H). See also Figures S5 and S6. |
