Figure 4

Phenotypic effects of hoxa4a knockdown demonstrated through Alcian blue/WGA staining. (A,B) Wild-type larvae stained with Alcian blue display regular pharyngeal cartilages. (C,D) By contrast, hoxa4a knockdown results in misshapen Meckel’s and palatoquadrate elements. (E) WGA reveals well-ordered, morphologically normal chondrocytes in controls. (F) Knockdown embryos instead show distorted cartilages and irregular chondrocyte packing.
