FIGURE 7

A model for Fgf3-dependent epibranchial formation. The expression of fgf3 appears in the dorsal and intermediate domains of monolayered ceratobranchial cartilage before epibranchial cartilage formation begins. This fgf3 expression would promote the proliferation of chondrocytes in the dorsal area of ceratobranchial cartilage to lead to stratification. Some of the chondrocytes from the stratified dorsal end would migrate to form an epibranchial bud. Cb, ceratobranchial cartilage; Eb, epibranchial cartilage.
