vision/eye
• staining of P0.5 eye slices with wheat germ agglutinin indicates a significant reduction in the diameter of the lens nucleus normalized to the total lens diameter

homeostasis/metabolism
• at P0.5, eyes show increased translation of long mRNAs (such as those associated with cell proliferation), whereas the translation efficiency of shorter transcripts that encode lens differentiation factors (such as alpha-, beta-, and gamma-crystallins, lens major intrinsic protein [MIP], CP115, and CP49) is relatively reduced
