Distinct Bcd gradient profiles in wt and nej embryos. (A) Experimentally measured Bcd fluorescent intensities B in the early subgroup of wt (red circles) and nej (blue squares) embryos as a function of fractional embryo length x/L. Intensity values (in arbitrary units) are background-subtracted without any further adjustments. Error bars show the standard deviation of the measured Bcd intensity distribution. Solid lines correspond to theoretical fits of the experimental data for 0.19 ≤ x/L ≤ 0.49 (see text and the Supporting Material for details). (Inset) Same plot but with panel B on a logarithmic scale. Data from 18 wt and 22 nej embryos. (B) Same as panel A, except for the late subgroup. Data from 10 wt and 18 nej embryos. (Inset) Same as for panel A.
