Results
Specimen 1a: embryonic day 11.0 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS18: inner ear Present Regionally restricted 1a Expressed in posterior crista and cochlea. Not expressed in utriculo-saccular constriction.

Specimen 1a': embryonic day 11.0; Lmx1adr-6J/Lmx1adr-6J (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS18: inner ear Strong Regionally restricted 1a' Expressed in posterior crista, cochlea and utriculo-saccular constriction. Expressions were strong at their cores, their edges appeared blurred. An extension of the expression formed a bridge to the posterior wall of the cochlear duct.

Specimen 1b: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: inner ear Present Regionally restricted 1b Expressed in the utriculo-saccular constriction. Expressed in an unbroken band immediately abneural to the cochlear sensory epithelium.
TS21: cochlear duct Present 1b

Specimen 1b': embryonic day 13.5; Lmx1adr-6J/Lmx1adr-6J (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: inner ear Present Regionally restricted 1b' Expression extend across the site that would form the utriculosaccular constriction and down the posterior wall of the basal cochlear duct. An unbroken band was present apically, but it weakened basally.
TS21: cochlear duct Present 1b'

Specimen 1c: embryonic day 13.5 (more )
Note: Embedded in epoxy resin.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: cochlear duct epithelium Present 1c

Specimen 1c': embryonic day 13.5; Lmx1adr-6J/Lmx1adr-6J (more )
Note: Embedded in epoxy resin.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: semicircular canal Present Regionally restricted 1c' Expressed in the cochlear crista, located in the basal duct's outer spiral sulcus, immediately adjacent to the cochlear sensory epithelium.
TS21: cochlear duct epithelium Present 1c'

Specimen 7a: embryonic day 13.5; Lmx1adr-6J/Lmx1adr-6J (more )
Note: Flat mount.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: cochlear duct epithelium Present Patchy 7a Expressed in patches that tapered to extinction as the cochlear sensory epithelium approached its junction with the saccular macula.

Specimen 7b: embryonic day 15.5; Lmx1adr-6J/Lmx1adr-6J (more )
Note: Flat mount.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS23: cochlear duct epithelium Present Patchy 7b The patchy region elongated, with longer gaps between patches.

Specimen 7c: postnatal day 4.5; Lmx1adr-6J/Lmx1adr-6J (more )
Note: Flat mount.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cochlear duct epithelium Present Patchy 7c Gaps were variable in length and could include much of the basal cochlear sensory epithelium.
