Table 1. Cardiac and skeletal muscle phenotypes at 2 dpf in embryos injected with morpholinos targeting the three zebrafish troponin C genes.
Embryos were injected at the one- to four-cell stage with tnnc1a, tnnc1b, or tnnc2 morpholinos either singly or in pair-wise fashion (see Methods). Embryos were then assayed for (A) heart or (B) skeletal muscle contraction at 2 dpf and were characterized as one of the following phenotypes; wild-type (contraction of both chambers with blood circulation); sil phenotype (contraction of the atrium, silent ventricle, and absence of blood circulation); contraction, no flow (contraction of both chambers with the absence of blood circulation); no contraction, no flow (no contraction in either chamber with the absence of blood circulation); sk. m. impaired (decreased touch-response); paralyzed (no touch response).
