Figure Caption

Fig. 9 Analysis of trunk sensory neurons in des^b420 mutants. Dorsal view (anterior to the left) of a 20-h wild-type (A) and mutant (B) embryo showing islet2 expressing RB neurons. Arrowheads denote the absence of RB neurons in the spinal cord of des^b420 mutants. All three des alleles examined had a similar decrease in RB cells (b420 = 2.5 ± 0.2, b638 = 2.6 ± 0.2, and tp37 = 2.3 ± 0.1 compared to wild type = 3.1 ± 0.2). Lateral view of 72-h wild-type (C) and mutant (D) embryo showing Hu-expressing DRG neurons (arrowheads). (E) islet2-expressing RB neurons and Hu-expressing DRG neurons were counted in hemisegments 5–9; n = 10 embryos for RB counts and n = 6 embryos for DRG counts. See Fig. 7 legend for details regarding statistics. Scale bar, 20 μm.
