Effect ofsox2-/-andsox3-/-on early placode size. (A-H) Expression of pax8 at 11 hpf (A-D) and pax2a at 12 hpf (E-H) in control embryos (A, E), sox2-/- mutants (B, F), sox3-/- mutants (C, G) and sox2-/-; sox3-/- double mutants (D, H). Dorsal views with anterior up (A-D) or dorsal-lateral views with anterior to the left (E-H). Scale bar (E-H), 100 µm. (I, J) Box-and-whisker plots of relative surface area of otic/epibranchial domain of pax8 (I) or pax2a (J) in control, sox2-/-, sox3-/- and sox2-/-; sox3-/- double mutant embryos. Data are normalized relative to control groups, with means indicated by green lines. Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences relative to control (*P<0.05, *** P<0.001, Tukey's HSD test). Brackets indicate comparisons between non-control groups. n.s., not significantly different. |
