Caption

Panels A-C: Coronal sections through the head showing intact hard palate of E18.5 embryos of wildtype mice (A), cleft palates Fgfr2^tm1Schl/Fgfr2^tm1Schl (B) and Fgfr2^tm2Schl/Fgfr2 (C). Panels D-F: Trachea showing cartilaginous rings in wildtype (D) however in the Fgfr2^tm1Schl/Fgfr2^tm1Schl and the Fgfr2^tm2Schl/Fgfr2^tm2Schl mice there is no seperation of the traceal cartilage into rings, and the trachea appears like a smooth cartilaginous tube. Panels G-I: The knee joints of E18.5 embryos of wild type (G) and Fgfr2^tm2Schl/Fgfr2^tm2Schl (I) are similar whereas the joint spaces did not form in the Fgfr2^tm1Schl/Fgfr2tm1Schl (H). Panels J-L: Normal elbow joint development in the wildtype (J) and Fgfr2^tm2Schl/Fgfr2^tm2Schl (L), Fgfr2^tm1Schl/Fgfr2^tm1Schl mice (K) display agenesis of joint spaces. Abbreviations: coronoid process (C); cricoid cartilage (Cr); femur (F); fibula (Fi); humerus (Hu); hard palate (HP); nasal septum (N); olecranon process (O); patella (P); radius (R); tongue (T); tracheal cartilage rings (Tc); tibia (Ti); trochlear notch (Tr); thyroid cartilage rings (Tc); tibia (Ti); trochlear notch (Ty); thyroid cartilage (Ty) and ulna (U). Scalebars 200um.
