Fig. 1

Anterior migration of PCT and morphogenesis of the neck segment are impaired in taz morphants. (A) In situ hybridization of embryos with the PCT-specific probe, slc20a1a. Note the absence of anterior migration and convolution of PCT in taz morphants. (B) Neck region morphogenesis is arrested in taz morphants. In situ hybridization using pax2a probe (red), followed by anti-BrdU staining (green) to visualize the neck region morphologies and detect proliferating cells in the neck regions in control embryos (a, c, e, g, i) and taz morphants (b, d, f, h, j). Note in f, the neck regions remained aligned with the A–P axis in the taz morphant, rather than repositioned to align with the mediolateral axis as in the normal embryo (e). (g, h) Individual optical sections of stacks. (i, j) Projected images of stacks. Anterior is to the top. Bars, 20µm.
