Whole-mount in situ hybridization reveals altered spatial patterns of no tail (ntl) and hatching gland 1 (hgg1) in zfPRL-3 morphants. Embryos injected with 4 ng control morpholino (MO) or zfPRL-3 MO were fixed at 8 h post fertilization and analyzed by whole-mount in situ hybridization. (A,B) Expression of ntl. (A) Control morphants exhibit a robust ntl marginal domain with a distinct animal pole–ward extension, whereas (B) zfPRL-3 morphants show a detectable ntl domain that appears more confined to the margin with reduced internal extension. (C,D) Expression of hgg1. (C) Control morphants display a compact hgg1-positive domain, while (D) zfPRL-3 morphants show a detectable but often weaker and less defined hgg1 signal. Scale bars = 250 μm.
