Figure Caption

Fig. 2 Chordamesoderm and notochord phenotypes of boz mutants. DIC micrographs of a (A) wild-type (arrowheads indicate sides of the chordamesoderm) and (B) boz mutant embryo at the 10-somite stage demonstrate the absence of chordamesoderm in boz^m168 mutant embryos. In (A) the chordamesoderm is shown bisecting the paired somites. The chordamesoderm is missing in the boz^m168 mutant embryo (B) resulting in the lateral fusion of somites. (C,C′) At 24 hpf a vacuolated notochord normally seen in wild-type embryos (C; between arrowheads) is completely missing in the boz mutant embryo (C′). (D) Variable expressivity of the phenotype is observed as some boz mutant embryos form a notochord (between the arrowheads) in the tail as seen in this 72 hpf embryo tail. Scale bars, 250 μm.
