Results
Specimen 1A: embryonic day 9.5; Pitx2tm1Rsd/Pitx2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: 1st branchial arch Present 1A
TS15: surface ectoderm Present Diffuse 1A

Specimen 1B: embryonic day 10.5; Pitx2tm1Rsd/Pitx2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: 1st branchial arch Present 1B
TS17: 2nd branchial arch Present 1B
TS17: muscle tissue Present 1B Expression was detected in muscle anlagen.

Specimen 1C: embryonic day 11.5; Pitx2tm1Rsd/Pitx2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: 1st branchial arch maxillary component Present Regionally restricted 1C A broad domain of expression was detected in the posterior half of the maxillary component.
TS19: 1st branchial arch Present Regionally restricted 1C A smaller more dorsal expression domain was detected between the maxillary and mandibular components.
TS19: 2nd branchial arch Present 1C

Specimen 1D: embryonic day 12.5; Pitx2tm1Rsd/Pitx2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: mandible primordium Present 1D
TS20: maxillary process Present 1D
TS20: muscle tissue Present Regionally restricted 1D A fan-shaped anlage originating ventral to the otic vesicle and inserting on the ventral aspect of the mandible seems to be the anlage for a mandibular depressor, which derives from the second branchial arch. One crescent-shaped anlage just anterior to the eye seemed to extend toward the dorsal aspect of the jaw.

Specimen 1E: embryonic day 13.5; Pitx2tm1Rsd/Pitx2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: cranial muscle Present 1E

Specimen 1F: embryonic day 9.5; Pitx2tm1Rsd/Pitx2tm1Rsd (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS15: 1st branchial arch Present 1F No significant anatomical change was observed in the mutant.
TS15: surface ectoderm Present Diffuse 1F

Specimen 1G: embryonic day 10.5; Pitx2tm1Rsd/Pitx2tm1Rsd (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: 1st branchial arch Present Regionally restricted 1G The beta-Gal-positive area was largely reduced.
TS17: 2nd branchial arch Present 1G No significant change in expression was observed in the second branchial arch.
TS17: muscle tissue Present 1G Expression was detected in muscle anlagen.

Specimen 1H: embryonic day 11.5; Pitx2tm1Rsd/Pitx2tm1Rsd (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: 1st branchial arch maxillary component Present Regionally restricted 1H The mutant maxillary component showed ectopic expression that resembled the second arch expression.
TS19: 2nd branchial arch Present 1H No significant defect was noted in the mutant second branchial arch expression domain.

Specimen 1I: embryonic day 12.5; Pitx2tm1Rsd/Pitx2tm1Rsd (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS20: mandible primordium Weak Regionally restricted 1I The components of the jaw were vestigial in mutants, and only a few residual blue spots were observed in these regions.
TS20: maxillary process Weak Regionally restricted 1I The components of the jaw were vestigial in mutants, and only a few residual blue spots were observed in these regions.
TS20: muscle tissue Present Regionally restricted 1I The anlage was present, but was no longer fan-shaped in mutants. The crescent-shaped anlage just anterior to the eye was significantly shorter in mutant.

Specimen 1J: embryonic day 13.5; Pitx2tm1Rsd/Pitx2tm1Rsd (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: cranial muscle Present Regionally restricted 1J Severe deformities of muscle anlagen were noted.
