Figure Caption

Fig. 1 The mother superior (mos^m188) mutation affects zebrafish craniofacial development. A,B: Lateral view of wild-type (A) and mos^m188 (B) live embryos at 4 dpf. In mos^m188 embryos, the Meckel's cartilage is pointing ventrally and the posterior arches are missing (arrowheads point to the anterior and posterior tips of the Meckel's cartilage). The heart (h) develops an edema. C,D: Ventral view of dissected pharyngeal cartilages stained with Alcian blue from wild-type (C) and mos^m188 (D) embryos at 4 dpf. Cartilage elements corresponding to second and posterior arches (marked 1-5) are severely reduced. cb, ceratobranchial; bh, basihyal; ch, ceratohyal; h, heart; hs, hyosymplectic; M, Meckel's cartilage; pq, palatoquadrate.
