Fig. 9 Germ plasm recruitment in cei/aurB mutant embryos.

Localization of vasa mRNA by fluorescent in situ hybridization in wild-type embryos fixed at 49 min p.f. (A,B) and 65 min p.f. (C,D). In the wild-type, germ plasm becomes recruited as an elongated rod-like structure in the approximately 2/3 distal regions of the furrow (A′), then localizes as a compact structure at the distal furrow end (C′). Recruitment of germ plasm is reduced or absent in cei mutants (B′, D′). Instead, aggregated germ plasm often becomes recruited to two aggregates in the center of the blastodisc, corresponding to the edges of the truncated furrow-like structure observed in these mutants (D″). Arrowheads flank planes of cleavage.
