Fig. 4

Maternal Vsx1 knockdown specifically inhibits forebrain formation. (A-F′) Expression patterns of six3b, eng2a and krox20 in uninjected wild-type and vsx1 tbMO injected embryos at 8-10 somite embryos. (G-H′) Comparison of relative expression levels and spatial patterns of forebrain marker rx3, mid-hindbrain boundary marker pax2a and hindbrain marker hoxb1b at bud stage. Brackets in G and H indicate the distance between forebrain region and mid-hindbrain boundary. Asterisks indicate the anterior end of forebrain. Black arrowheads indicate the location of mid-hindbrain boundary and gray arrowheads indicate the location of hindbrain. (A-H) Dorsal views with animal to the top. (A′-H′) Lateral views with animal to the top. The injected reagents are indicated at the left of each column. Riboprobes are indicated at the top of each group of figures.
