Results
Specimen 3A left: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: blood vessel Present 3A +/+ In wild-type embryos the blood vessels, such as dorsal aortae, aortic arches, cranial vessels, and intersomitic vessels, are well organized.
TS15: branchial arch artery Present 3A +/+ In wild-type embryos the blood vessels, such as dorsal aortae, aortic arches, cranial vessels, and intersomitic vessels, are well organized.
TS15: dorsal aorta Present 3A +/+ In wild-type embryos the blood vessels, such as dorsal aortae, aortic arches, cranial vessels, and intersomitic vessels, are well organized.

Specimen 3A middle: embryonic day 9.5; Rapgef2tm1.1Tkat/Rapgef2tm1.1Tkat (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: blood vessel Present 3A -/- middle The vascular morphology varies in mutants compared to wild type. Most lack major blood vessels but possess delicate, plexus-like structures at the site of dorsal aortae.

Specimen 3A right: embryonic day 9.5; Rapgef2tm1.1Tkat/Rapgef2tm1.1Tkat (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: allantois Strong 3A -/- right In 3 of 12 embryos examined, there was an abnormal, balloon-shaped allantois.
TS15: blood vessel Present 3A -/- right The vascular morphology varies in mutants compared to wild type. In those with the bulbous allantois, the vasculature was less severely affected, and the structures like dorsal aortae and intersomitic vessels are visible, albeit hypomorphic.
TS15: dorsal aorta Present 3A -/- right The vascular morphology varies in mutants compared to wild type. In those with the bulbous allantois, the vasculature was less severely affected, and the structures like dorsal aortae and intersomitic vessels are visible, albeit hypomorphic.

Specimen 3B +/+: embryonic day 9.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: extraembryonic blood vessel Present Regionally restricted 3B +/+ There is are large vitelline collecting vessels and a network of smaller vessels.
TS15: yolk sac Present Regionally restricted 3B +/+ There is are large vitelline collecting vessels and a network of smaller vessels.

Specimen 3B -/-: embryonic day 9.5; Rapgef2tm1.1Tkat/Rapgef2tm1.1Tkat (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: extraembryonic blood vessel Present Regionally restricted 3B -/- Expression is present in the vascular endothelium, but it fails to coalesce to form a honeycomb-like primitive vascular plexus.
TS15: yolk sac Present Regionally restricted 3B -/- Expression is present in the vascular endothelium, but it fails to coalesce to form a honeycomb-like primitive vascular plexus.
