Absence or reduction of three ventral tail cell types in mfn mutants. msxD expression in 8-somite-stage wild-type (A) and mfn mutant (B) embryos. msxB expression in 14-somite-stage wild-type (C) and mfn mutant (D) embryos. msxB is also expressed in other more anterior cell types. dlx3 expression in 24 hpf wildtype (E) and mutant (F-H) embryos. flk1 expression in 24 hpf wild-type (I) and mutant (J,K) embryos. Note reduced flk1 in mfn (arrows). myoD expression in 32 hpf wild-type (L) and mutant (M,N) embryos. Arrowheads in B and D denote reduced/absent gene expression in the mutant. (F-H) Ventral dlx3 expression is absent between the arrows. All are lateral views. (A-D) Dorsal is to the right, anterior to the top. (E-N) Dorsal is to the top, anterior to the left.
