• homozygous mutant embryos are recovered at expected ratios at E7.5 but arrest prior to gastrulation
(J:279207)
|
|
• homozygous mutant embryos are recovered at expected Mendelian ratios at E7.5 and E8.5; however, no embryos are obtained at E9.5, E12.5 or E18.5
(J:277394)
• no homozygous embryos are recovered at E9.5
(J:279207)

embryo
|
• by E8.5, all structures typical of wild-type embryos, including headfolds, heart, somites and allantois, are missing
• however, most mutants display a clear extra-embryonic/embryonic boundary indicating that pre-gastrulation events leading to egg cylinder formation are normal
|
|
• embryos fail to initiate gastrulation; even at E8.5, features typical of gastrulating embryos (primitive streak, node, and early headfolds) are not observed
|
|
• all mutants show morphological defects resulting in developmental failure
(J:277394)
• mutant embryos arrest prior to gastrulation
(J:279207)
|
|
• at E7.5, mutant embryos resemble E6.5 wild-type in overall size and shape
• by E8.5, mutants have increased in size (relative to E7.5 mutants) but remain smaller than wild-type controls
|
|
• at E7.5, mutant embryos are smaller than wild-type
|
|
• at E7.5, many mutants show an abnormal buildup of cells in the embryonic portion of the embryo, while others show a severe reduction of the proximal-distal length of the embryo proper
• the embryonic compartments are filled with small and abnormally rounded cells
|
|
• epiblast cells appear to adopt a uniform atypical shape
• at E7.5, no obvious Oct4+ cells are observed in the epiblast except for a subset of distally located rounded cells
|
|
• at E7.5, significantly fewer proliferation marker phospho-histoneH3-positive (PH3+) cells are observed; only mutant cells that are PH3+ are those that are also Oct4+
|
|
• no head folds are observed even at E8.5
(J:277394)
• no head folds are present at E7.5
(J:279207)
|
|
• no embryonic node is observed at E8.5
(J:277394)
• no embryonic node is present at E7.5
(J:279207)
|
|
• at E7.5, Brachyury (T) expression is absent indicating failure of primitive streak initiation
(J:277394)
• at E7.5, no molecular or morphological evidence of primitive streak formation is observed
(J:279207)
|
|
• at E8.5
|
|
• the extra-embryonic compartments are filled with small and abnormally rounded cells
|
|
• at E8.5

growth/size/body
|
• at E7.5, mutant embryos resemble E6.5 wild-type in overall size and shape
• by E8.5, mutants have increased in size (relative to E7.5 mutants) but remain smaller than wild-type controls
|
|
• at E7.5, mutant embryos are smaller than wild-type
|
cellular
|
• at E7.5, significantly fewer proliferation marker phospho-histoneH3-positive (PH3+) cells are observed; only mutant cells that are PH3+ are those that are also Oct4+
