Fig. 2. Expression of Xpitx3 during Xenopus development. Whole-mount in situ hybridization was performed using Xpitx3 antisense RNA and staged Xenopus embryos. Nieuwkoop–Faber stages of embryogenesis are indicated. (a,b′,c,d,e,f,f′,g) Lateral view; (b) anterior view of the embryo; to improve resolution cleared embryos in lateral view are shown in (b′,f′,f′). (g′,g′) show frontal sections of the embryo shown in (g). In (f′) the embryo of (f) is shown in an anterior view. ale, anterior lens epithel; fbv, forebrain ventricle; ec, eye cup; fe, foregut endoderm; gl, ganglion layer; hm, head mesenchyme; il, inner layer; inl, inner nuclear layer; lp, lens placode; lpm, lateral plate mesoderm; lv, lens vesicle; nc, notochord; pa, pituitary Anlage; pt, pituitary; rpe, retinal pigment epithel; pfl, primary lens fibres; roa, roof of archenteron.
