Late marker gene expression during pharyngula stages in noi mutant embryos. Shown are lateral views, anterior to the left (except F-H: dorsal views). (A,B) no eng3 is seen in null mutants at 22 hours, whereas in the strong allele noith44a (C) a ventral eng3-positive spot can still be detected, and both ventral and dorsal expression is visible in weak noitb21 mutants (D,E); E, transverse section. (F-H) 24 hours. eng2 expression in the neural tube is absent in noitu29a; lateral expression in presumptive eye muscles is not affected. In the weak noity31a allele ventral expression is seen, and is located, similar to the eng3 expression, in the ventral neural tube (I; transverse section). (J-M) Eng1 and her5 expression is completely absent at 26 hours.
