Effect ofsox2-/-andsox3-/-on epibranchial ganglia. (A-D) Expression of phox2a at 36 hpf in a wild-type embryo (A), sox2 (B), sox3-/- (C) and sox2-/-; sox3-/- double mutant (D) embryo. Locations of the facial (f), glossopharyngeal (g), and vagal (v1 and v2) ganglia are indicated. Dorsal-lateral views with anterior to the left. (E) Quantitation of relative surface area of phox2a expression in individual epibranchial ganglia in control, sox2-/-, sox3-/- and sox2-/-; sox3-/- double mutant embryos. Data show means and standard deviations normalized to wild-type controls. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences relative to controls (** P<0.01, *** P<0.001, Tukey's HSD test), or between non-control groups (bracket). (F, G) Dorsolateral views (anterior to left) showing expression of pax2a at 24 hpf in a control embryo (F) and sox2-/-; sox3-/- double mutant (G). Arrows indicate positions of epibranchial placodes. Scale bars, 50 µm. |
