Figure 2

Images and drawings of phenotypes observed in fully transgenic HvNICD-overexpressing Hydra. Images labeled with a–d represent light-microscopy, a’–d’ display Ds-Red fluorescence. (A) “ectopic tentacle” phenotype observed in the initial stage (a, b Ectoderm-TG; c, d Endoderm-TG). (B) “two-headed” phenotype appeared in the initial stage (a-d Ectoderm-TG). (C) “multiple heads” phenotype after an additional 3 weeks (a-c Ectoderm-TG; d Endoderm-TG; the ectopic heads are numbered). (D) “Y-shaped animals” (a-c Ectoderm-TG; d Endoderm-TG). (E) combined phenotypes in Ectoderm-TG. Ectopic tentacles are indicated by white triangles, ectopic heads are indicated by white arrows.
