Integration of the migrating PLL primordia is not affected in lbx2 morphants.

(A, B) Whole mount in-situ hybridization for notch3 indicating that compared to control embryos (A), the PLL hair cells of deposited neuromasts are not perturbed in lbx2 morphants (B). (C, D) Compared control embryos (C), no difference in fgf10 expression was evident in the protoneuromast rosettes of newly deposited neuromasts in lbx2 morphants (D). (E, F) Compared to control embryos (E), there was no difference in cxcr4b expression in the protoneuromast rosettes of newly deposited neuromasts in lbx2 morphants (F). (G, H) Compared to control embryos (G), there were no appreciable difference in lef1 expression in the migrating PLL primordia in lbx2 morphants (H). (I, J) Compared to control embryos (I), there were no appreciable difference in cxcr7b expression in the migrating PLL primordia in lbx2 morphants (J). (K, L) Compared to control embryos (K), there were no appreciable difference in cxcr7b expression in the migrating PLL primordia in lbx2 morphants (L). Embryos used in the assay were at 48 hpf stage.
