Figure Caption

Fig. 3 In sqt embryos, the eyes are fused anteriorly and the ventral diencephalon as well as the underlying prechordal plate is reduced. (A, D) Side view of a wild-type (A) and sqt (D) embryo at 24 hpf. (B, E) The axonal scaffold stained with an anti-acetylated tubulin antibody in wild-type (B) and sqt (E) embryos at 24 hpf. (C, F) The axial mesendoderm stained with an anti-Fkd2 antibody in wild-type (C) and sqt (F) embryos at bud stage. Arrowheads in A and D point to the position of the optic stalks. Small picture in the bottom right corner of D shows the presence of a floorplate (arrowhead) in sqt mutants at 24 hpf. Asterisk in B demarcates the position of the nucleus of the tract of the postoptic commissur. Side (A, B, D, E) and dorsal (C, F) views, anterior to the left.
