Figure Caption

Fig. 1 The development of the neuromasts in the lateral line is normal in the phoenix mutant larvae.

(A) Semi-thin sections showing wild-type (top panels) and mutant neuromasts (bottom panels) in 5dpf (left panels) and 9dpf (right panels) larvae. (B) Camera lucida drawing for each section, highlighting the hair cells nuclei (red) and their cilia (green) and the supporting cells nuclei (blue). (C) Ultra-thin sections viewed by Electron Microscopy (EM) of a wild-type (top panel) and a mutant (lower panel) neuromast in 10dpf larvae. The hair cells stain darker than the supporting cells. (D) Camera lucida drawings of the EM sections, highlighting the hair cell nuclei (red), cell bodies (dark red), and cilia (green). The nuclei of the supporting cells are highlighted (blue). One apoptotic body was visible in (yellow). - 5 microns in (A) and 1 micron in (C).
