smoc2 morphants do not display cardiovascular defects. Dorsal (A–D: anterior to the top; E–H: anterior to the left) and lateral view (I–R′ anterior to the left) of embryos at 12 ss (A,B,E,F), 20 ss (C,D,G,H), the onset of blood cell circulation (I–P) and 50 hpf (Q,R′). Analysis of the expression pattern of the early cardiac marker nkx2.5 (A–D), the vascular marker fli (E–H), the dorsal aorta marker vegfc (I,J), the marker for all venous and arterial cells flt4 (K,L), the endothelial marker flk1 (M,N) and the arterial marker dll4 (O,P) (n ≥ 14). Q–R′: Visualization of the fli-positive vasculature using the (Tg(fli:eGFP)y1) reporter fish at 50 hpf.
