Knockdown of prmt1 induces gastrulation defects. Wild-type and prmt1 MO2 (8 ng) injected embryos at 10 hpf were examined. (A) The morphants showed abnormal morphology at the end of epiboly (10 hpf) as reflected by different degrees of open blastopores. Dashed arrows and semicircles depict embryo lengths and angles between anterior–posterior ends. Lateral views, dorsal to the right. (B) ntl (staining the forerunner cell group, axial chorda mesoderm) staining of the embryos at 10 hpf. Dorsal views, anterior at top. The morphants are grouped according to the degree of shortening and widening of the notochord.
