Caption

A to D show whole-mount eyes dissected from E17 fetus. A and B show views of, respectively wild-type and mutant embryonic eyes and C and D show back views of the same eyes. Note the open optic fissure in the mutant and the absence of a defined boundary (arrow in C and asterisk in D) limiting the pigemnted retina at the back of the eye. E shows a front view of a whole-mount dissected eye at E11.5, when the closure of the optic fissure starts. arrow, converging lips of the retina on both sides of the optic fissure. F shows sagittal sections of a wild-type E13 embryo. Note how basal lamina has dissolved in the contact regions of the converging lips of the prospective retina at the former optic fissure (arrowhead) so that it is now continuous around the lens. At a similar stage, the mutant eye shows persistence of the basal lamina (shown in G), even though the converging lips seem to contact each other. r, retina; le, lens.
