PGP midline convergence phenotypes in spt-/-embryos. ((A)-(C)) Whole-mount in situ hybrydization of wt1a and myoD was stained blue and orange, respectively in 12 (A), 24 (B) and 48 hpf (C) spt-/- embryos. The scale bar indicates 100 µm; ((A)-(C)) are at the same magnification. All images are dorsal view anterior to the top. (D) Quantification of convergence morphogenetic movements in spt-/- embryos and comparison with WT. The inter distance of PGP was measured at 11 (n=28), 12 (n=32), 15 (n=31), 24 (n=9), 48 (n=15) hpf. The P values of t-test for all 5 stages are smaller than 0.005. The curve fitting (pink) and R-squared value are displayed on the right-hand corner. A turning point (arrow) to divergence movement at 33.5 hpf is generated from an approximation of the stage that has the minimum inter distance of PGP. Error bars represent SD.
