Results
Specimen 3A: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: tail dermomyotome Present Regionally restricted 3A Expression is in the dermatome in the trunk.

Specimen 3B: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: mesonephros Present Regionally restricted 3B Expression is in the trunk. The author describes this expression as in the pronephros. Mesonephros was chosen to be consistent with the anatomical dictionary at this stage.

Specimen 3C: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: gonad primordium Present Regionally restricted 3C Expression is in the trunk. The author uses the term genital ridge.

Specimen 3D: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube floor plate Present Regionally restricted 3D Expression is along the entire embryonic axis.

Specimen 3E: embryonic day 10.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: midbrain floor plate Present 3E Increased expression is associated with the neuronal fiber tracks crossing the floorplate.

Specimen 3F: embryonic day 10.5; KitlSl-17H/KitlSl-17H (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: tail dermomyotome Weak Regionally restricted 3F Expression is restricted to the luminal aspect.

Specimen 3G: embryonic day 10.5; KitlSl-17H/KitlSl-17H (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: mesonephros Weak Regionally restricted 3G Expression is restricted to the luminal aspect. The authors use the term pronephros. Mesonephros was chosen to be consistent with the anatomical dictionary at this stage.

Specimen 3H: embryonic day 10.5; KitlSl-17H/KitlSl-17H (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: gonad primordium Weak Regionally restricted 3H The author uses the term genital ridge.

Specimen 3I: embryonic day 10.5; KitlSl-17H/KitlSl-17H (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: neural tube floor plate Weak Regionally restricted 3I In mutant embryos, expression is found only in the luminal aspect.

Specimen 3J: embryonic day 10.5; KitlSl-17H/KitlSl-17H (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS17: midbrain floor plate Weak Regionally restricted 3J Absence of expression associated with the neuronal fiber tracks crossing the floorplate.

Specimen Not shown: embryonic day 11.5; KitlSl-17H/KitlSl-17H (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: gonad Weak Expression in mutants is reduced compared to wild-type embryos.
TS19: midbrain floor plate Weak Expression in mutants is reduced compared to wild-type embryos.
TS19: neural tube floor plate Weak Expression in mutants is reduced compared to wild-type embryos.

Specimen Not shown: embryonic day 13.5; KitlSl-17H/KitlSl-17H (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS21: tail mesenchyme Absent In mutant embryos, expression is not detected in the dermal mesenchyme.

Specimen 6A: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Cross section at mid-trunk level.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS19: mesonephros Strong 6A Expression levels have increased from 10.5dpc embryos.

Specimen 6B: embryonic day 11.5 (more )
Note: Cross section at the midtrunk level.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
