Fig. 6 Vent and Vox function redundantly to repress myoD expression. A–H: In situ hybridization for myoD at bud stage. Dorsal views, anterior is up. Insets show dorso-vegetal views, dorsal up. Injected morpholinos are indicated above each panel, all morpholinos were injected at 5 ng/nL each. The percentage of treated embryos displaying the phenotype shown in each panel is indicated. Horizontal bars indicate width of adaxial myoD+ domain. Vent and Vox double knockdown recapitulates the Dfst7 phenotype (B), while knockdown of Vent or Vox individually results in a mild phenotype (C, D). ved-MO-injected embryos display a wild-type myoD pattern (E). Double morphant combinations (B, F, G, H) show that the loss of Vox + Vent or Vox + Ved gives rise to a ventrally expanded myoD (arrow in insets).
