Figure Caption

Fig. 5 Normal endoderm and shield specification in mtx2 morphants. Whole-mount in situ hybridization for faust/gata5 (A, D) and mixer (B, E) shows endoderm specification in mtx2 MO injected embryos (D, E). The blastoderm margin appears a little irregular in mtx2 MO injected embryos (D–F). Goosecoid (gsc) is expressed in the shield of mtx2 MO injected embryos (F) but is reduced when compared with std MO injected embryos (C). All embryos are at shield stage. Panels A and D are animal pole views; panels B and E are lateral or oblique views; panels C and F are dorsal midline views. AP = animal pole, VP = vegetal pole. Scale bar = 200 μm in panel A (applies to panels A–F).
